Okorocha had on Sunday when he appeared on Channels TV programme \u201cSunday Politics\u201d, accused Uzodimma of hating him with so much passion.
\u201cGovernor Hope Uzodimma hates me with passion. He just hates me. I don\u2019t know the reason he has been fighting me, but never a day, I fought him and I made it a point of duty that I will never fight back.
But he just shows hatred and envy. I don\u2019t know why or for what reason and he doesn\u2019t seem to be changing. He is not relenting, the former governor reeled out.
But Uzodimma replied his successor, saying Okorocha is being hunted by his past, describing him as a rabble rouser

He is being hunted by his ghost over how he destroyed a state he gov-erned for eight years.
\u201cImo people may forgive him but they will not forget what he did to them \u2013 raping the state in and out and mak\u00acing it look like a laughing stock until recently when Governor Hope Uzodimma took up the challenge to clear his mess\u201d, the statement noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
