Did you read about the drama that ensued between Governor
Rochas Okorocha of Imo state and Governor Peter Obi’s aide?
Well, just in case you missed it, Okorocha who arrived at the 80th birthday
celebration of former vice president, Alex Ekwueme in Enugu and made to sit on a particular seat
but a protocol officer attached to Governor Peter Obi refused to allow him seat;
this so enraged the seemingly quiet governor that he found himself playing Van
Damme on the fellow; giving him a punch before he realized what was happening.
The reports have it that the man was surprised because he didn’t
expect such from the governor but more drama occurred when a police officer
attached to the bomb disposal unit in Anambra state, Mr Felix Alumona pushed
Okorocha when he tried to remove the tag having Obi’s name on it.
Na so Okorocha aide, Gabriel Onu pounce on the Police man o!
He beat the man and then went on to tear his uniform. Other security details
attached to the Imo state governor joined in the fisticuffs but Okorocha ended
the wahala when he asked to share the seat with Obi.
PUNCH reported that Okoroha’s aides grumbled saying, “Why is
it that anywhere we go, they always reserve a special seat for Obi. Is Okorocha
not the leader of Ndigbo?”.
It baffles me that my governor will be pushed to act violent
and the fact that his aides made such a statement beats me. Is there a silent
beef between these two governors? It sure sounds like there is but whatever the
case, would an aide treat a governor
that way just because of a seat?
His actions may have pushed Okorocha to do what he did but I
certainly didn’t expect such from my governor sha!
