FMR. GOV OKOROCHA SWORN-IN AS SENATOR

  • PRESS RELEASE
    SUBJECT: FORMER GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE, OWELLE ROCHAS OKOROCHA HAS BEEN SWORN-IN AS THE SENATOR REPRESENTING IMO WEST SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
    -HE HAS NO REGRET OVER THE POLITICS THAT HAD CHARACTERIZED THE ISSUANCE OF HIS CERTIFICATE OF RETURN.
    -AND HE WOULD CONTINUE TO TAKE EXCEPTION TO POLITICS OF VENDETTA, CLANNISHNESS, BITTERNESS, HATRED, AND DO OR DIE
    This is to inform all men and women of good tidings that the former governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been sworn-in as the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District. He was sworn-in at the Red-Chambers of the National Assembly on Thursday, June 13, 2019 by the clerk of the Senate Chief Nelson Ayewoh. The former governor and now a distinguished Senator, had also signed all the necessary documents requiring his signature.
    The swearing-in event had come barely 48hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had issued him his Certificate of Return which had remained contentious for months and which also prevented the former governor from being inaugurated last Tuesday when other Senators were inaugurated and the leadership of the Senate Constituted.
    Against the backdrop of all these developments, the former governor and now Senator has no regret over the politics that had characterized the issuance of his Certificate of Return, since the whole drama had worked together for good. And the whole development should also been seen as one of the indices of a growing democracy like ours.
    Senator Okorocha would also continue to take serious exception to politics of vindictiveness, clannishness, bitterness, hatred and do or die. In his politics, he has never been associated with any of these vices and that was why the accusation of “duress” was strange to him and to all those who had closely followed his politics.
    He would remain broadminded and Godly in his politics. And would also be in the fore-front of any action or move that would strengthen the oneness of the nation since it pays to be united than to be divided.
    On the contentious issue of the marginalization of the Igbos in the choice of Principal Officers of the National Assembly, the truth is that both the questions and answers about what the issue is all about, lie with the Igbos themselves.
    Finally, as a Senator, Owelle Okorocha won’t disappoint the people of Imo West Senatorial District, Imo people and Nigerians in general.
    Sam Onwuemeodo
    Special Adviser (Media) to the Former Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha
