Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State says the state will not cede any of its land to the Federal Government for the establishment of the proposed cattle colonies across the country.

Speaking on Tuesday through the state’s Commissioner for Information, Prof. Nnamdi Obiaraeri in Owerri, Governor Okorocha described the speculations that he had ceded a part of the state to herdsmen as wicked, unfounded and untrue.

“This information that Imo has ceded a part for the proposed cattle colony is wicked, unfounded and untrue, although it repesents the typical product of the warped thinking of desperate mischief makers via the social media.

“Imo people and members of the public are therefore advised to disregard these baseless and laughable rumours. It is unfortunate that manufacturing wicked and capricious lies on an hourly basis has become the hallmark or DNA of desperate opposition politicians in our dear state,” Okorocha said.
