to run for the presidency in the 2015 general elections, has
flooded Owerri and other major cities in the state.
Our Correspondent, who moved round the Owerri Capital
Territory Tuesday, noticed the pasting of several posters at
strategic points, including the Government House.
Apart from Okorocha's photograph, the posters equally
included his presidential ambition for the February 14, 2015,
presidential poll.
As at the time of going to press, no campaign organization,
agency of the state government claimed responsibility for the
flooding of posters in the state.
When contacted for comment, the Governor's Senior Special
Assistant, SSA, on Media, Mr.
Samuel Onwuemeodo, confirmed that Okorocha was
interested in running for the presidency but has not declared
his intentions openly.
"It is not a secret that Governor Rochas Okorocha is
interested in running for the presidency. It is however true
that he has not openly declared this intention to run for the top
national job in next year's general election", Onwuemeodo
said.
According to the SSA, Governor Okorocha has not commissioned anybody or group to print and paste the
posters, adding that there had been series of meetings about
the matter in some parts of the federation.
"The Governor has not commissioned anybody or group to act
its campaign outfit. I however know that a lo of people have
been clamouring for this and meetings have been going on in
many states of the federation over this matter", the SSA said.
We recalls that only last week, Okorocha took a swipe at the
President of Ohaneze Ndigbo for daring to decree that no Igbo
man should vie for the presidency against the incumbent, Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan.
