Legit.ng gathers that Nkworji also described the recent Democracy Day celebration as “a mockery and rape of democracy”.

He stated: “Imo state has experienced more physical, psychological, economic and developmental trauma, since Rochas Okorocha assumed office, than ever.

“Under the APC and Okorocha, the state has witnessed irreparable demolitions across communities and towns without verifiable reasons, non-payment of pensions and gratuities, traumatized the citizenry and dwarfed their hope of survival through consistent, indiscriminate seizure of traders’ goods, multiple extortion and denying the citizenry the right to live.”

APGA further lamented that “Imo today, is wearing the face of a war-torn territory,” and accused the APC government of “creating extreme poverty in the land."

Okorocha, who issued the threat in a statement through his spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Tuesday, June 5, accused the party’s national chairman of trying to destroy the party because he was finishing his tenure as chairman.
