| Gov Okorocha |
The Imo State Government has denied renaming Assumpta Avenue in Owerri, the state capital, after President Muhammadu Buhari.
A
statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Wednesday
in Owerri described it as misinformation from the opposition parties.
The
statement quoted the governor, Rochas Okorocha, as saying that President
Muhammadu Buhari road began from Government House Roundabout, Owerri and
terminated at Warehouse Roundabout.
Mr.
Okorocha said that the purported claim was to create an impression of
misunderstanding between the Catholic faithful and the government.
He
also said Imo government was not in any war with Catholic Church and urged
mischief makers to desist from creating tension in the state.
According
to the statement, the government was shocked when some youth destroyed a brick
with the inscription Muhammadu Buhari road at the popular Assumpta Roundabout
on Tuesday.
The
youth claimed that Mr. Okorocha was planning to rename the road after Mr.
Buhari.
