But unfortunately, he could not accomplish the project. His exit from office rendered whatever plan he had for that space redundant. Not only that the valuable space laid fallow, which is un-economic; the so-called “hospital” building turned into a den of miscreants who turned it to public toilet.

To be able to do that, the landscape has to be cleared of all obstacles that didn’t fall into the new plan. It is therefore not surprising that the uncompleted structure has to be demolished, since it didn’t fall into the new plan. That is just that.If Okorocha had implemented his vision of replacing the market with a functional hospital or shopping mall, there would have been no need to demolish anything.

“When we got there, that place has been converted to something else to tell you that there was nothing like hospital or even a mall. It became a public toilet and it became a hide out for criminals. It became a place where all sort of evil things are planned and executed.
