BLOOD OF MURDERED SOMTOCHUKWU, 11 YR OLD BOY, HAUNTING OKOROCHA - IMO GOVT

Imo State Government yesterday alleged that the blood of Somtochukwu , murdered in the course of Rochas Okorocha's Government was now haunting the former governor, hence his current manifestation of signs of early insanity. According to the Government, the blood of the 11yr old boy  killed when security agents stormed Ekeukwu market, Owerri on the orders of Okorocha is seeking for vengeance. The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba, in a statement said because the boy's blood had not been appeased,it is now haunting Okorocha which is beginning to manifest in his recent lunatic behaviour  Emelumba noted that the recent behavior of the former governor now borders on early insanity which needs to be checked before it develops to full madness. "Is it not worrisome that Okorocha has veered from psychotic paranoid to being a clown and now a choir master of an area boys choir? I think those who mean well for him should take a closer look at him&quo

GROUP DESCRIBES IMO PDP; AS A DEN OF SNAKES, SCORPIONS, BLACKMAILERS, AND PERVERTS

  .......SAYS ANYONE WHO TAKES PDP SERIOUSLY OWES OKOROCHA AN APOLOGY.  A youth group known as Global Association of concerned Imo youths (GACIY) has said that Imo PDP; is a den of snakes, scorpion,blackmailers and perverts. In a press release made avaliable to newsmen in Owerri, the group stated that Imo PDP is fast becoming a caricature of itself going by the many publications and falsehoods it has been spreading over the goverment of Imo State lately.  The group however stressed that "Over the weekend, Imo PDP – a den of shameless scoundrels, venomous snakes, scorpions, backstabbers, blackmailers and perverts – released a string of hate materials on Governor Uzodimma's second year in office as part of its failed bid to "create conditions neccessary for regime change". From _"Uzodimma has plunged Imo into debt slavery"_, to _"Imo has collapsed under Uzodimma"_ and every other nonsense in between, the PDP spat, and still spits at Imo, all in the

IMO PDP’S EVALUATION OF UZODIMMA’S GOVT, UTTERLY BIASED, UNFOUNDED, PREJUDICED AND UNPATRIOTIC

-UZODIMMA’S TWO-YEAR SCORECARD: BRILLIANT, UNPRECEDENTED AND PHENOMENAL.  The attention of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State chapter under the indefatigable chairmanship of Hon. Macdonald Kelechi Ebere, PhD, KSJI, has been drawn to a sloppy, incoherent and unfounded press statement credited to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Imo State, wherein they passed a jaundiced, misleading, biased, dishonest and undeserving verdict on Governor Hope Uzodimma’s two years in office. Inasmuch as we are not threatened or perturbed by such uncomplimentary, fallacious and mischievous remark from the PDP, as we do not expect or anticipate that our roundly defeated and angry opponent to cheer and applaud our superlative performance, however, what we find very worrisome and irritating is the penchant of the leadership of PDP for fabrication and propagation of falsehood, distortion of facts and figures to achieve premeditated and ill-conceived political objectives. It is no longer

OF PDP, FALSEHOOD AND UZODINMA'S SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT

The fact that remains indisputable is that Senator Hope Uzodinma is the governor of imo state. Those deluding themselves, calling his Government illegitimate may continue to revel in denial , but Uzodinma will continue to exercise his power as GOVERNOR of Imo state till the end of his tenure. With this in mind, the vile propaganda being mounted by PDP  through its hirelings including one charlatan called Collins Opurozor, will never change the fact and history. Blowing hot air, dishing insults and desecrating the office of the governor will not bring Emeka Ihedioha and PDP back to power. It is unfortunate that two years after Emeka Ihedioha was sacked by the Supreme Court based on facts that he was not the validly elected governor of Imo state, It very unfortunate that neither himself, PDP and cheer leaders are yet to come to terms with this simple fact. The real usurper of that position is the man who sought to govern imo with results from three local governments,thus negating the con

The IPOB statement said,” Following our Leader’s upcoming court proceedings on the 18th, 19th and 20th of January 2022 next week, we wish to remind Biafrans that there will be only sit -at-home on 18th of January, and not 19th and 20th of January.
