Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha has distanced himself from the posters bearing the image of the Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the 2019 presidential election, pasted in some parts of Owerri, the state capital.
In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, he wrote… .
Those behind this mischief first invaded the social media with the fake posters and
when they discovered that the comments by decent men and women had all doubted the source and the genuineness of the posters, they decided to paste them in Abuja”, the statement read in part.The statement said it was difficult to tell what the characters behind the posters wanted to achieve. O n w u e m e o d o averred that it seemed the mischief makers’ only intention was to sow seeds of discord in the relationship existing between President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Okorocha.
Continuing he said:
“Interestingly, Governor Okorocha has for some times now been reported to have told those willing to hear that he won’t run for the 2019 presidential election because of President Buhari. By repeatedly saying that, he succeeded in disarming the little minds who had used that issue to blackmail him.
