GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE

PRESS RELEASE

Subject: The Governor's Photograph With President Obama On Digital Billboard Screen & Flex Bill Board Banner

 

The attention of the Imo State Government has been drawn to His Excellency, Governor Rochas Okorocha's photographs with president Barak Obama been shown on the digital billboard screen and flex billboard banner.

 

 

To say the least, the Imo Governor or the state government he superintends did not place the photographs on the referenced screen or billboards, and was not aware or informed of such development, and could not have authorized anybody or any group to do that since it was totally unnecessary.

 

At the level God had placed the Imo Governor even before his becoming governor in 2011, he would not have authorized anybody to begin to advertise or display his photographs with the American President.

 

We had done our investigations and had discovered that some politicians in the state did that and they had done it with good intentions without their knowing the implications since they are not experts in public relations. They had thought that by doing the adverts they were going to impress the governor. And we can understand that.

 

The government has however told them to put a stop to that. The government also wants to use the opportunity offered by this development to demand that any body who wants to do any advert for the governor in any media or publicity outfit should get clearance from designated officials of the government.

 

We appreciate the love of those behind the adverts in question for the governor, but next time, when they intend to do that they should get clearance before going public.

 

We are aware of the fact that Imo people love their governor and do certain things to appreciate him, but they should please be thorough enough, by informing the government to avoid playing into the hands of habitual opponents.

 

It was a good thing that His Excellency, President Mohammadu Buhari in his magnanimity included the Imo governor in his team for the visit to President Obama, but the governor had got to a level that he could not have allowed the adverts in question if informed.

 

So, we take the liberty to call on the general public who had seen or who will see the photographs on the networks in question to discard them. They are not from the Imo State Government.

When they make senseless tweet, it will be ' my account was hacked' or ' "I am not on any social media''

Senseless broadcast: I am not aware, e aid must be responsible.

Childish act by Rochas: Overzealous supporter.

Okoroawusa you are a big liar, you placed that poster.

What I wrote in that thread:
Abeg truth be told, Rochas messed up on this one. He should have known better. Haba. What the heck was he thinking??

Perhaps it might be the handwork of some overzealous aide.
Guess I was right after all.

Simple. I wonder when Okorocha came back to Imo and awarded contract for the shoddy billboard when civil servants are owed. Thank you for the clarification as I earlier thought it was his opponents. The "Change" letter was written in blood which signified danger or death.

Why did some online igbos just hate this Okorocha? They always pray he goofs so that they will have opportunity to bash him. He has clarified the issue, yet, they are still wailing.

This is why I prefer Obiano's style. He would have put the picture on his clothes. grin
