OPINION: My Governor My Governor, you need to reconnect to the people – Emmanuel Onuoha
The tributes continue to come in for Governor Rochas Okorocha as he celebrates his 55th birthday. This message below came in from our blog reader, Emmanuel Onuoha.
Governor Rochas- Owelle!
Some years ago, your face was the face of hope for Imo people.
Your first two years plus as governor of Imo state was unprecedented in all ramifications as if Sam Mbakwe the Father of old Imo state had reincarnated in you.
But the moment you left APGA and joined APC something went wrong, as if you lost your vision and goodwill or perhaps distracted and enchanted to vague political ideologies different from what you promised us while the Great Ojukwu- EZE Igbo gburugburu was lying in state in Owerri.Suddenly the compassionate lover of his people became a heartless oppressor of Ndi Imo especially the workers. Today, all the propaganda about Eke UKWU Owerri wouldn’t have risen because in my view, developing a state capital like Owerri must certainly affect many old structures as it’s happening in Lagos and many towns in Nigeria. And people must understand that but it becomes an easy task when the people are fully with you.
No doubt you are a great man but you need to reconnect back with the people and finish strong. I believe u can.
CONGRATULATIONS OWELLE!!!Submitted to IMOSTATEBLOG.com by Emmanuel Onuoha
