OWERRI — The South East Progressives Assembly, SEPA, has accused Governor Rochas Okorocha of high-handedness, impunity and imposition of acolytes as party executives of All Progressives Congress, APC.

The group, which made its position known in a statement by Okorocha’s former media aide and SEPA’s President, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, also noted that the governor’s excesses led to the shocking resignation of the state chairman of APC, Prince Marshal Okaforanyanwu.

He said as a socio-political organisation deeply committed to promoting good governance, democratic values, as well as championing harmonised Igbo political interest, SEPA was sadly disturbed over noticeable inconsistencies between well known democratic ethos and recent actions carelessly exhibited by Governor Okorocha, who they earlier thought was a democrat.
