I don't like this thing about widows demonstrating on the streets of Owerri. If you're truly a widow, who takes care of your vulnerable children when u spend the whole day on the streets? I'm sure your dead husband will equally be unhappy about this. Pls leave politics for our politicians.

Acts of Desperation!
Earlier today, a large number of women dressed in black
and numbering about 100+ trooped into Owerri in about
15 of 18 sitter buses.
They assembled in front of Union Bank, Okigwe Rd
branch. After a brief meeting, they brandished placards on
which was written derogatory statements addressed to
the person of Governor Owelle Rochas.
They proceeded to Douglas House Entrance, causing
traffic gridlock. They chanted songs in rhythm to their
placards. They told people who cared to listen that they
are widows from Imo and they have come to tell the
world that Owelle has failed Imo state.

Luck ran out on them when a keke driver sighted some of
the women whom he knew. He called out to them and
asked them why they left Abia state for Owerri to protest
against Imo state Governor. He asked them why they
could not protest against their Governor who has been
unable to carry out a tangible project in Abia state yet
they came this far to insult the best performing Governor
in South East. When they could not give a cogent answer,
other passengers in the keke who were already upset that
these women who had caused a hitch in their plans for
the day and were purported to be widows from Imo state,
were not after all, who they appeared to be. Immediately,
they alighted and asked the women to clear from the
road, the women resisted and this led to a scuffle, other
road users alighted and joined to chase the women off
the road. Soon,women from Ekeonunwa market who got
hint of the protest by the Abia women arrived alongside
women from other communities, to Govt House ring road
and helped to chase these women away. Some of these
women from Abia state were questioned and they opened
up in confidence that the Minister for State Education;
Viola Onwuliri, had attempted mobilizing women from Imo
state for the protest but Imo state women declined to
because they love the best performing incumbent
governor of Imo state and had nothing against him to
protest for which was what led to mobilizing Abia women.
Just as these Imo women and other road users were
about dispersing, Soldiers from 34 Artillery Brigade
Obinze, trooped in and began harassing people, detained
some men in their waiting Hilux. They beat up some
innocent pedestrians and dragged them into the waiting
Hilux. At this point, the Imo women gathered again and
began singing in praise of Owelle, also requested for them
to release their detained children. These soldiers declined
to, stating that they are acting on orders from above. The
women were relentless as they stood their ground and
continued chanting songs in praise of Owelle. It took the
timely intervention of the Honourable Commissioner for
Youth and Sports, DG Rochas Campaign Organization and
Hon Commissioner for Lands , before these soldiers
released the wounded men in their custody.

It did not last up to 10mins after these men were
released that the amiable Governor Owelle Rochas
arrived. He greeted the women and thousands of people
who arrived while the situation escalated. They responded
happily , cheering him. He went ahead to say that he was
in Abuja this morning when he learnt of the situation and
had to take the next available flight to Owerri in order to
answer to his people. He reiterated that his love for the
good people of Imo led him to abandon his mission in
Abuja and came home. To this, the people assured him
that there is no vacancy in Douglas House come this
2015.

It could be recalled that a similar event occurred on 26th
of last month when some hired thugs hijacked the
endorsement rally organized by Imo state students, went
on rampage in the guise of the students and destroyed
property worth hundreds of millions in the state.
PDP is desperate.
