Gov Okorocha Enters Trouble In London by cabjoy(m): 7:56am On Mar 05, 2015 |
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State at the weekend entered into trouble in London when he was yelled at, booed and assaulted at Chatham House, London by Imo indigenes who addressed him in unprintable words. Okorocha was in London to rally support of Nigerians in England for the All Progressives Congress and for himself as he is seeking a re-election ahead of the general elections slated for March and April. Other APC leaders who were in London to mobilize support for the party included; the presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, national leader of the party, Senator Bola Tinubu, Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole and a host of others According to eye witness account when Okorocha arrived Chatham House, London, venue of the rally he met to his chagrin placards- carrying Imo indigenes chanting solidarity songs to express their disapproval of his visit The eye witness stated that immediately he alighted from the taxi that brought him some Imo indigenes rushed to shove him and informed him that they were not prepared to listen to his speech. They accused him openly of mismanaging Imo funds and misruling the state, wondering why he wanted to address them. “Shouting on top of their voices they abused Okorocha, calling him all sorts of unprintable names dehumanizing of a street person not to talk of a state Governor”, the eye witness said. According to him, it was the timely intervention of other APC leaders and Hon Emeka Nwajuba, former member of the House of Representatives, that saved the day. Hon Nwajuba was said to have addressed the Imo indigenes, appealing to them to shield their sword and for understanding. According to Mr. Uche Achonwa, a London based Public Relations expert from Omumu-Ishiaku in Ideato LGA of Imo, the Imo indigenes in London were annoyed that Okorocha came to Chatham House in London despite several warnings given to him not to come to London until he fixes the issue of mismanagement in the state. He said Imo people in London were annoyed that Okorocha assaulted widows in the state, of which group his mother belonged to, and the passage of the Abortion Bill in Law last year. http://themoment.com.ng/national/item/3285-gov-okorocha-enters-trouble-in-london 1 Like |

Why won't he enter trouble... APC members are filled with trouble makers. So they passed the trouble making spirit to rochas. Unlike PDP members that are full of peace makers. Even our first lady, her name is mama peace... O gosh... Peace loving people. Chai e... There if GEJ oooo... No vacancy in aso rock till 2019 15 Likes 1 Share |

Roaches has always been an armed robber all his life. Imagine this sort of rogue sitting on a state allocation. Its very worrisome to say the least. Imo state is in trouble really unless this animal is boothed out next month. --The head of the National Airport Management Authority (NAMA), Rochas Okorocha, was caught and dismissed for embezzling about $1 million through an inflated contract; Obasanjo then appointed him as a senior aide, without requiring Okorocha to repay the stolen funds. Okorocha was eventually fired on July 13 in a cabinet reshuffle, but went on to start a political party for his renewed presidential ambitions. https://cablegatesearch.wikileaks.org/cable.php?id=06ABUJA483&q=al-rufai 1 Like |

diluminati: It was entirely wrong of her to say that considering her position. Nigeria politics is too weird. Same way someone once incited violence by talking about 'parallel govt' if they lose and another wanting to soak some creatures in blood. Violence should never be promoted, much less in an election by the same people aspiring for public offices. But in Nigeria, its almost a norm. |

Re: Gov Okorocha Enters Trouble In London by ayindejimmy(m): 2:01pm On Mar 05, 2015 |
This is highly misleading. Okorocha is a diligent governor. One of its kind in the East. His works will speak for him... However he shouldn't rely on his work alone. ekiti is an example. |
