Mayhem Averted As Okorocha’s Supporters, Mbaise Youths Clash by Sealeddeal(m): 1:47pm On Aug 17, 2014 |
By CHIDI NKWOPARA, OWERRI. Scores of security personnel present at the 2014 New Yam Festival of Mbaise people had a hectic time at the weekend, in stopping what could have degenerated to a full scale war between the supporters of Governor Rochas Okorocha and Mbaise youths. Earlier in his welcome address, the Deputy Speaker, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, who chaired the event, reminded the Governor of the palpable lack of state government presence in Mbaise. He pointed out that “the major projects in Mbaise are those executed by the Federal Government”, adding that “as a matter of expediency, it is expected that you (Okorocha) will hand over the reins of state administration in 2015, so we can help out.” Responding, an obviously angry Governor said: “There is nobody in Imo PDP that is my match in an electoral contest. My three years in office is more productive than the 12 years spent in Imo by the PDP. Imo people have rejected PDP because PDP is worse than the Ebola virus”. The booing multiplied when Okorocha said he had laid the foundation for a campus of the Imo State University to be sited in Aboh Mbaise/ Ngor Okpala federal constituency. The crowd became uncontrollable when the confusion quickly degenerated into a free for all between Okorocha’s supporters and Mbaise youths, while the Governor was whisked away into safety before the unveiling of the yam barn and cutting of the new yam. Speaking to newsmen at the scene of the near ugly incident, the Foreign Affairs Minister 1, Professor Viola Onwuliri, who represented President Goodluck Jonathan during the ceremony, lamented that “from what transpired here, it is evident that the Governor was not interested in the festival but came to create confusion and derail the event” It was the considered opinion of the Minister that “since the Governor assumed office in 2011, he has never attended the Iri ji Mbaise until this one that precedes the election year”. Continuing, Professor Onwuliri said: “This is not the ground for venting personal animosities. He even left before the actual ceremony began. He just brought trouble to the event and this is an embarrassment to the state and its people. I am positive that by 2015, we will all have a chance to redress this anomaly”.

Okorocha knows the kind of disgrace that awaits him in 2015, he wouldn't even bother contesting. APGA will win Imo state election for the third time in a row (Martin Agbaso defeated Ohakim in 2007). 8 Likes |

Vanguard is beginning to lose credibility if indeed they can descend this low to release falsehood as a news story. Mbaise was divided between Okorocha and the rest while far majority was for Okorocha. The festival started and ended well while Okorocha shared the yam and ate it with jubilant Mbaise youths. Tufiakwa! to vanguard if they actually wrote this. Ihedioha and Okorocha just took political swipes at themselves without bitterness. They joked and smiled while Ihedioha even served Okorocha some kola amidst laughter. 4 Likes

Mbaise people are lucky they have federal govt projects. In arondizuogu, nothing. Not fed, not state, not local govt nothing. Okorocha dare not step feet in izuogu land saying he is coming to eat yam with anybody, else he will get more than he bargained for. Abagworo tell him I say so. 12 Likes |

Animals,they are like chimpanzee troupes in African rain forests. Where ever the Alfa chimps head,the lowly kind follows. Mostly in well coordinated and brutal hunts for monkies. As well as defending territories. |

Funny enough how Abagworo ll stay in port Harcourt and be seeing everything that happened in far away chioma ajunwa stadium ahiazu mbaise. ..foolish enough how somebody ll take his words seriously and even refer to it as the true account of what happened. ..onye kpo aboki bia mbaise ?? Chupu ya o bu onye oshi...e choro ka ya tugbuo anyi na bomb. That was all that echoed across the length and breadth of the stadium when rochas started of with his deceitful speech of building and getting a functional campus of imsu in mbaise before December. ..of all people to try and use their head.....mbaise? ?? Rochas no try shaa 2 Likes |

Sealeddeal: Earlier in his welcome address, the Deputy Speaker, Reading this will give even a toddler an insight into what happened. My argument is that both Ihedioha's supporters and Okorocha's supporters are Mbaise youths but Vanguard reported like Okorocha's supporters are from some other place and were fighting with Mbaise youths. |

I heard the guy kept saying "my people, my people" and totally derailed from the theme of the event. I trust my people nah. A fellow aboki Mopol detail was overheard saying "This man should do make we comot here oo. This is Mbaise" Fews minutes later, the governor's convoy escaped the wrath of the people but not without sustained booing through Ahiara Junction. 4 Likes |
