Imo State government demands apology from the Executive Governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji, for false remark and accusation that the Senate President convoy was attacked in Imo State.
This was contained in a Statement by the media aide to Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. sam Onwuemeodo.
He said “We had expected that after the Police and other security Agencies in the country had confirmed that the convoy of the Senate President was neither attacked in Imo, the Abia State Governor would have in the light of the facts, apologized to the Government and people of Imo State over his uncomplimentary remarks and insinuations on the incident which the Imo state Government had considered as a blackmail.
“It is now obvious that the Executive Governor of Abia state, and the Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum spoke in a hurry, which is of course human, but one had expected that he would have added fiber to the nation’s growing democracy if he had apologized to the Government and people of Imo state for talking in a manner that had given the impression that he had blackmailed the Government and people of the state, using the alleged attack on the Senate President’s convoy as tool.
“Apologising to the Government and people of Imo state, would not have done any damage to the image and office of the Abia State Governor, rather, the apology would have portrayed him as a humble and courageous leader, and it does not also show weakness but strength of character. The state government is worried that more than two weeks after the facts of the claimed attack had been known, Abia Governor had not shown any remorse by apologising to the people”, the statement read.
