He stated this on Tuesday during a chat with reporters at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Governor Uzodinma was responding to questions on the impasse between himself and the former governor, Rochas Okorocha.

He insisted that he has no rift with the former governor, stressing that Senator Okorocha only needed to recognise that he is now the governor of the state.

“On the issue of Okorocha, the former governor, he is my very good brother in who I am well pleased”.

“I have no issue with him; the only thing is that he is now the former governor and I am the current governor and once we understand that, we don’t have any issue,” Governor Uzodinma said.

He explained that he was at the Villa to seek the intervention of the President in tackling the problem of erosion in Imo State.

The governor spoke after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
