<\/p>\n

The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, on Wednesday disclosed that history will vindicate him despite been misunderstood and seen as the most controversial governor the state ever produced.<\/p>\n

He made the disclosure during the commissioning of the Justice Chukwudifu Akunne Oputa High Court Complex in Owerri, the state capital.<\/p>\n

He boasted of setting a standard, which no successor in the state can beat.<\/p>\n

According to Okorocha: \u201cLet my works speak for me after leaving office. I am not in the business of wasting the tax payers\u2019 money to commission projects because I believe that such funds should be channelled to other productive ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have set a standard which any incoming governor would not beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking also, the state\u2019s Chief Judge, Justice Paschal Nnadi, said the commissioning of the court complex would go a long way to reduce the current suffocating situation of insufficient court facilities.<\/p>\n

Nnadi stated that for many years insufficient court facilities gave rise to the uncomfortable situation where two or more judges shared one court hall.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
