A senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has lambasted the Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okoracha calling him a trickster.
Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Senator Victor Umeh, Anambra Central has taken a swipe at governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, alleging that he is a trickster, according to a report by Vanguard.

He also said he regretted supporting Okorocha’s governorship ambition in 2011. Umeh said that Okorocha is a “trickster” and a “419” who found his way into office through what he described as fraud and deception.

Addressing Journalists yesterday in Abuja,Senator Umeh noted that the Imo Governor Okorocha was about to make history in Nigeria as the only Governor that impeached two deputies.

Senator Umeh who was reacting to recent attack on him by Okorocha, where he described Umeh as a non performing lawmaker,stressed that the Imo Governor attacked him because he advised him not to impeach Chief Eze Madumere, his deputy, having impeached his first deputy, Chief Jude Agbaso during his first tenure.

Umeh said: “Rochas Okorocha is about making history in Nigeria as the only governor that impeached two deputies and because I advised him against impeaching the current one, he started attacking me.

“I regret supporting him to become a governor of Imo state against all odds. I didn’t know he is a trickster and a ‘419” who found his way into office through fraud and deception.”
