Mr. Okorocha was on his way to inspect projects in the state when a Mercedes Saloon car ran into his motorcade.
In a statement issued, Saturday, Chinedu Offor, the Commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism, stated that the state governor had completed his scan and his doctors announced that there was no internal bleeding, fracture of the skull, swelling, or vision problems.
“The head is still sore but, he just needs to rest his head,” the statement said.
“His Excellency genuinely appreciates the prayers and concerns of all Nigerians and Imolites. He says that he would be back to the country soon to continue his work,” it added.
Mr. Okorocha sustained injuries in the accident along Owerri-Orlu road and was first treated at St. Mary’s Children & Community Hospital, Umuowa, before he was flown abroad.

A car ran into a Nigerian Governor's convoy? Or the other way round? Our 'big men' are always driving against traffic in very high speeds and that could have resulted in the accident, yet we are being lied to. I only hope the driver of the car was not killed or man-handled, as usual by the Governor's ever zealous aides. Of recent there had been road accidents involving either these "big men" directly or their family members, the pointer here is that they (big men) should know that they too are prone to be accident victims as long as they fail to keep our roads good enough for use.
ReplyDeleteAm with u, who knows the condition of d driver maybe dead the never mentioned d driver. Big men shm
DeleteNa wa ooooooo, God dey ooooooo
ReplyDeleteMay God grant him speedy recovery. He really needs the rest for he is a wokerholic as we say in Nigeria, though it is doubtful if he has much to show for his hard work.
ReplyDeleteHe seemed to have embarked on too many projects all at the same time and would hardly have the time, energy and resources to finish them. He reminds me of the English saying about a rolling stones that gathers no mud!
Gov of Kogi state, a retired (veteran) pilot, sustained SERIOUS injuries after a car accident last dec. He was treated in Lokoja from start to finish. I, a nurse, personally assisted in treating him. Did he die? No! An examplary Nigerian leader.
ReplyDeleteI bet his first action when he returns will be to review de condition of de road
ReplyDeleteU hear, the concern is only on the 'His excellency' not the poor driver whom the governor might be treated with his share of the 'loot' NE shall be objective in it reporting. What was his condition? He is being treated 'domestically'! Remember SUNTAI. A minor injury that can be treated at UNNTH. Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteHow come that these Nigerian Politicians when sustain ‘minor injuries' as described by their Aides are flown abroad for Medical Treatment? Are there no hospitals in Nigeria capable of handling the treatment of ‘minor injuries'?
ReplyDeleteWhat happens when ordinary Nigerians sustain injuries?
Can't the case be treated in Nigeria? Wicked politicians that mess up the country for their selfish interest
