The Imo state government has
denied renaming Assumpta Avenue in Owerri, the state capital, after Muhammadu
Buhari.
A statement by the governor’s
Chief Press Secretary, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo on Wednesday in Owerri described it as
misinformation from the opposition parties.
The statement quoted the
Governor, Rochas Okorocha, as saying that President Muhammadu Buhari road began
from Government House Roundabout, Owerri and terminated at Warehouse
Roundabout.
Okorocha said that the purported
claim was to create impression of misunderstanding between the catholic
faithful and the government.
He also said Imo government was
not in any war with Catholic Church and urged mischief makers to desist from
creating tension in the state.
According to the statement, the
government was shocked when some youths destroyed a brick with the inscription
Muhammadu Buhari road at the popular Assumpta Roundabout on Tuesday.
The youths claimed that Gov.
Okorocha was planning to rename the road after President Muhammadu Buhari.
