Governor Rochas Okorocha’s posters, indicating his interest to run for the presidency in the 2015 general elections, has flooded Owerri and other major cities in the state.
Our Correspondent, who moved round the Owerri Capital Territory Tuesday, noticed the pasting of several posters at strategic points, including the Government House.
Apart from Okorocha’s photograph, the posters equally included his presidential ambition for the February 14, 2015, presidential poll.
As at the time of going to press, no campaign organization, agency of the state government claimed responsibility for the flooding of posters in the state.
When contacted for comment, the Governor’s Senior Special Assistant, SSA, on Media, Mr.
Samuel Onwuemeodo, confirmed that Okorocha was interested in running for the presidency but has not declared his intentions openly.
“It is not a secret that Governor Rochas Okorocha is interested in running for the presidency. It is however true that he has not openly declared this intention to run for the top national job in next year’s general election”, Onwuemeodo said.
According to the SSA, Governor Okorocha has not commissioned anybody or group to print and paste the posters, adding that there had been series of meetings about the matter in some parts of the federation.
“The Governor has not commissioned anybody or group to act its campaign outfit. I however know that a lo of people have been clamouring for this and meetings have been going on in many states of the federation over this matter”, the SSA said.
It can be recalled that only last week, Okorocha took a swipe at the President of Ohaneze Ndigbo for daring to decree that no Igbo man should vie for the presidency against the incumbent, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Please I beg our governor, Okorocha to go for 2nd term in Imo state to advance and finish d good works he has started in d state. Coz if he leaves, there's no guarantee that d administration that will come on board will pursue nd finish d numerous projects he has started. So plz, let him tarry till 2019 to run for d presidency. Moreno, d governor shud also consider how difficult it could be to win or unseat d incumbent.., GEJ will deliver more credible nd fair elections by 2019 when he won't be a contestant. By this time, Governor Okorocha will hv fairer chances nd must hv also had d opportunity of delivering his full potentials to Imo state nd its citizens. God bless my state, Imo state nd Gideon bless Nigeria!

ReplyDeletePlease, i am so confused about this country called Nigeria that even GEJ, we all students,young youths and wise men laid their hope and future cannot even predicts what our life or future will be in next 5 or 10 years.we have disappointed our parents after 6,6,5 years from primary to university, no future or employment to carry out our mission in this earth.my insight towards this country Nigeria come 2014/2015 is breakup simple .lets tell ourselves the real truth. Monsters and Human beings do not live in one house or be under one leader or creates a peaceful environment for their children to survive. whether igbo, hause and yoruba even GEJ can not make this country united or stop evil in this Nigeria.so it is better to divide and know where our problems stipulates from by understanding ourselves and no our enemies.the rich men pls should allow the poor and talented youths to carryout their visions and missions.
