GOVERNOR OKOROCHA DIDN’T DESTROY SACRED HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH AKWAKUMA

-  PLEADS WITH IMO PEOPLE TO VISIT THE CHURCH

                         

In line with the pledge to always toe the line of truth on issues concerning the government in the State which Governor Rochas Okorocha Superintends, it has become important to politely deny the allegation by the LEADERNewspaper owned by the Owerri Catholic Archdiocese in its last Sunday’s edition that the governor had made good his threat by demolishing parts of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church Akwakuma Owerri.

First and foremost, the governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has never, either in writing or orally, directly or indirectly threatened to demolish any Church or any other property including the Catholic Church at Akwakuma as wrongly claimed byTHE LEADER Newspaper.

We also make bold to state that in the large premises of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church Akwakuma, there are two outstanding buildings, the Church building under renovation and the School building, and none of the two structures were touched in the expansion work going on, on Akwakuma/Amakaohia road.

It was only part of the store built very close to the main road that was touched by the contractor handling the expansion exercise on the Akwakuma/Amakohia road.

Now that the Leader Newspaper had made its claim and the government or indeed the governor has denied the allegation by the newspaper, it is therefore advisable at this point to plead with Imo people to visit the Church in question to know between the two claimants who said the truth.

The THE LEADER Newspaper had in the report under reference avoided telling their audience that the Church in question used the store building to totally block the government owned Primary School sharing boundary with the Church, and the School has more than one thousand pupils.

The challenge now is for THE LEADER Newspaper to publish the destroyed part of the Church to support their claim because they failed to properly caption the photograph they published with the story to show that it was part of the store building almost at the main road, that was touched.

At this stage, we want to also repeat the appeal we have been making toTHE LEADER NEWSPAPER and the Catholic Church in Owerri not to be acting and talking as if they are at war with the State Government.

The government appreciates and recognizes the mega contributions of the Catholic Church to the progress and development of the State especially in the areas of education, human development and spiritual life of our people and would remain loyal to the authorities of the Church and those of other Churches in the State to the glory of God.

The expansion of some of the major roads in Owerri and environs is in the overall benefit of the State and her people which the Church is part and parcel of. We shall continue to appeal for understanding.

But you use propaganda to defend him here everyday.

You use propaganda to show us good roads in Owerri and hide the bad ones.

You use propaganda to show us old church building without going anywhere near the store you claimed was destroyed.

And by the way, I don't really care if the demolished house is owned by Jesus or Muhammed.
If it is on the path of development, bring it down and develop your State.
Just make sure the owners are prepared and compensated.

You blackheads should stop swearing.
Go to school.

Op,the pics you posted is St Michael's Catholic parish Amakohia which the contractor is waiting for instruction to pull down part of its hall. Go up to Sacred Heart which is at Akwakuma roundabout and take pics

You go and get it for us to believe you

On a good day what is the big deal here, if a church/mosque is blocking road or is wrong location it should be pull down





But why is ROCHAS TRYING TO ISLAMIZE IMO?
IN THE VOICE OF ORUBEBE WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS OOOOOOO

It's an open secret that OKorocha and churches in Imo state are in cold war. When that is the case, this kind of claims and counter claims are expected.

akwakumaaaa. okorocha the bad finisher. always ready to start demolishing but never to see completion..

Ujoatu is a paid Rochas e-defender. Any news from him is already biased. He's here saying the Catholic Church is lying against Rochas, indirectly calling the Church Lairs. Igbos selling Igbos since 1960.

Okorocha is at it again, Imolites have been scammed

@Op, the picture you shared here is not Sacred heart parish Akwakuma, rather the church building i'm seeing here is St Michaels Cath. Church Amakohia which is my parish.. Pls lets say the truth always, the fact remains that part of the Sacred Heart Cath. Church was demolished without compensation to the church.

Stay there and wait for your imaginary friend to do and undo. You are a religious extremist. Not only IJN. You religious folks are just too weak mentally

From state library to roads to name it, Rochas Okorocha demolishes, demolishes, and demolishes - some times builds his Taiwan version, all in the state capital more so since joining APC.

It's like seeing a blue moon to find any other place outside the state capital associated with Okorocha government activity or development infrastructure since Okorocha joined APC. He reduced Imo state to become the state capital only.


Red light district Capital governor Okorocha officially described the rest of Imo state as rural areas in his end of year 2015 video account of his stewardship. About 98% of the video was account of his achievements in the state capital.
Sorry for Imo state.

Don't make a fo.ol of your self, this is St Michael's Catholic Church Amakohia not Sacred Heart Akwakuma.
