The Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha and a female legislator from Imo state, Senator Chris Anyanwu reportedly engaged in a war of words in the public, according to Daily times.
Senator Chris Anyanwu in a statement signed by her special assistant on public affairs and communications, Vivian Jonathan Iwuoha has responsed to alleged reports that Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State insulted and humiliated Senator Chris Anyanwu and made her cry in public.
According to Ynaija, It all started at the 2014 edition of Oru Owerri Cultural Festival, held on Saturday, 5 August, at Ugwu Ekwema Civic Centre, when the governor made some remarks that was supposedly directed at Senator Chris Anyanwu, during his speech.
After calling her name last while he observed protocol, the governor went further by saying to the gathered crowd; “You must not allow a woman who slaps her husband in public to govern the state. You must not allow ono na di acho di (a married woman who has pleasure in sleeping around with other men) to govern or represent you anymore. You must not allow a slippers thrower to be your governor.”
“When the time comes, we will tell you the people that will give you good governance. We will tell you the person that will be your senator; we will tell you the person that will be your House of Representatives member,” Okorocha added.
After the governor’s words, the senator walked out of the venue with her aides, and was reported to be crying as she entered into her car.
In a response, Sen. Anyanwu has released a statement saying that Okorocha’s uterrances showed that he is a menace to women.
Her statement read: Governor Okorocha has chosen to constitute a menace to women; an affront to women and this is battle for women, only our strong and virile women will bring him to sanity.
Governor Okorocha may have guts but not enough to let loose his tongue directly to Senator Chris Anyanwu. That is to say the Governor did not, and dare not, call Senator Chris Anyanwu a prostitute. Rochas has no liver to embolden him on this. So, at the Owerri cultural festival, he urged the people not to vote for women who are generally prostitutes and who have the tendency to slap their husbands – and as usual he got away with it.
Senator Anyanwu does not fit into his bizarre description and category, but it was well interpreted by the crowd, and reports thereafter, to be a statement directed to his enemy, the Senator. We all know, it’s no longer a cold war, why Rochas has drawn the battle line with Senator Anyanwu.
Apart from Senator Anyanwu being his strongest and best contender in the 2015 guber race, Rochas will not forget the power wielded by Senator Anyanwu for his victory as governor of the State at the point when Senator Anyanwu and APGA had not been betrayed and sold out by Rochas. This is his sordid nature.
The statement further stated; Rochas Okorocha needs some sort of therapy, fast. To this extent, no counter attack came, and none will come, from distinguished Senator Chris Anyanwu because in his usual cowardice, he made a general, sweeping statement derogatory to women.
Women must come together to fight against such irresponsible and immodest conduct coming from a man who gives impression that he has no reputation to protect; who has no respect for the office and position he represents in the State. The great news is that Rochas has raised Senator Anyanwu to the status of candidate. She has become a he-woman to be feared by king-kong himself.
Rochas made a grave strategic error. He asked the general question: will you vote a woman? It is not just Senator Chris Anyanwu that is woman on IMO, but Senator Anyanwu is that one that he fears and dreads, knowing her strength and disciplinary nature. That open, brazen statement that Owerri should not vote woman has gone down for him.
Verily, the man who passed a vote of no confidence on woman before the ancestors of Owerri people; the man who declared at the timber market Orlu that Imo women are the worst prostitutes will never again enjoy the votes of women. Oru Owerri festival venue was a declaration of war against woman. He will be defeated and deflated by a woman, God being alive and living.
