Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State has said that he did not order the arrest of his predecessor, former governor Rochas Okorocha, even as he said that hate campaigns against him will fail.
Also, he said that he is committed to the people of the state as he marked his first 100 days in office and reassured them of his firm resolve to deliver on his promise to rebuild the state.
