Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, has revealed that, in his administration, the wife, Nkechi Okorocha, has control over four ministries of the government in the state.


Okorocha stated this when the correspondent chapel of Imo state, honoured the wife with the “most outstanding Governor’s wife award” Thursday in Owerri.
The Secretary to the Imo state government, Mr George Etche who represented the governor at the event while singing praises of the achievements of Okorocha’s wife in 6 years also named the ministries under the control of the wife of the Imo state governor.


As part of his presentation, the ministries include, “Women Affairs, Works, Health, as well as the office of the Secretary to the State Government.”


Etche also went further to confirm the statement made by Hon. Chinedu Offor, a lawmaker representing Onuimo state constituency in the Imo state House of Assembly, in which he said that the governor’s wife deserved to be honoured with the award of “Nobel peace prize”


According to Etche,” We should thank God Almighty for given us Owelle Rochas Okorocha who has offered us free education at all levels. We should also thank God for given us his wife, Nkechi Okorocha for putting smiles in the faces of the less privileged in the state.”
“It is difficult to see first ladies do this kind of thing. You see that over 200 widows have gotten houses in Imo state.”


In her remarks, the wife of the Imo state governor, Nkechi Okorocha while speaking on her pet project, She Needs a Roof Project, SNARP, according to her, it was a project for building houses for widows and the disadvantaged in the state, adding that “I am doing this because of humanity.”


“I am pregnant with something. I have a dream one day we will move around communities and we will not find people living in bad condition or in a house without roof.”


She could not hold her tears, when she explained that one of the beneficiaries died few hours the bungalow house was handed over to her at Aro in Okigwe Local Government Area.


“Hours we left, she was pointing at the SNARP project, meaning that she should be taken into the house and that night she was taken into the house, on our way that night we were told that mama has joined her ancestors.”


While expressing her joy over the award, she said, “I am happy that this award is coming from a group that has key into my vision. The only way Imo can be better is to have a media that can understand they have a path to play in the role of development of the state.”


“I discovered that with Imo journalists there is hope in IMO state.

APC governors sha!

You say whaat, nde ukwuani shi kweeke

No wonder

Is this why Nigeria keeps remaining the way we are
Are you telling us that apart from your family members we don't have capable hands for those ministries , we use square pegs in round holes.
Just want to keep enriching your family members

its still the same guys, still the same lies
still the same breed, still the same greed
still the same promise, ten years in office
make no change, except for their pockets
they really dont care, and we dont either
we'd rather just chill, watch them decieve us
trust in God, thats what they teach us
to idolize leaders, ballers, preachers
and dont ask questions or else they'll kill
watch them loot, they rob, they steal
all the resources under our nose
cant blame 'em its the position we chose
we stay subdued, modern day slavery
Culled from my man Eldee d don

okoroawusa

APC! *spits*. And they will be the first to attack Mama Peace for having little influence over governance.

Hypocritical bunch, an inch less than PDP equals.

And He thinks it's a positive thing, runing Imo government like it's a family affair.

What qualifications does she have to be running all these ministry, whereas there are many qualify candidates out there.

I wept for Nigeria

I'm convinced that most men don't know what they believe, rather, they only know what they wish to believe. How many people blame God for man's atrocities, but wouldn't dream of imprisoning a mother for her son's crime?
Criss Jami

APC and their rubbish act.
After his tenure comes to end I know for sure he will deny this if it leads to problem.

What?? Did he actually said this? Does he know this is illegal? Oh my, Nigeria is a failed state. I can confidently say that nothing will ever work in this country. Nothing. Quote me to prove me wrong. This country see wrongs as normal and rights as not being smart. I give up. My children will be dual nationals but Nigerians, never, because their father regretted ever being called a Nigerian. We see these rubbish and all we can do as youth is "God take control, e go better, let 2019 reach quick, #Istandwithblablabla", while in a civilized word, this unshaved ape of a governor would have been impeached the next day and banned from politics for turning a state into family affair.
I weep, truly I weep.

This man has destroyed imo

This is Nigeria. Anything is possible

Family government

for the family for the family
Familiacracy.

The thief managed to marry a good wife.

OkoroHausa

Owelle is a cheap prik,, a phony a thout a silly mallam with no sense. How does all this equate to achievemtn with the very silly award names... By the way did she submit applications to secure the posts he claimed are a ladder to heaven?

wondering if I should comment or not?

Chai!!! And he can still say it yeye man.

PRYCE01:

Worse than PDP that they told us were the demons.
How many ministries did Mama Peace control when Jonathan was president?

What a fxxing joke this Okoro-ewu has turned out to be.

Which god had the good people of Imo state offended to have deserve this raging , despotic lunatic as governor ?

betterABIAstate:
This man has destroyed imo

Destroyed and pocketed Imo in his family's pulse

smh....politics is now a family affair....one woman holding 4 offices...as what na?...whats her pedigree...is she even qualified to handle a single office....seriously i pity that state

I feel sorry for imo indigenes that voted him. His wife controls 4 ministries. Lol. So there are no competent people in imo to control those ministries even better than his wife. A jack of all trades is a master of none. So much for democracy in Nigeria

Rochas we know.

You did not tell us how many your daughter, son inlaw and just arrived son control. Rochas you will not be governor forever, be careful Imo people did not elect Rochas and family to govern them.
