Governor
Rochas Okorocha of Imo, has said that he is not in a hurry to die but live to
complete his assignment for the people of the state.
Okorocha made the statement on Thursday while reacting to
rumours of his ill health shortly after arriving Sam Mbakwe Airport Owerri,
from a foreign trip.
Addressing a large crowd that gathered at the airport to welcome
him, Okorocha described the rumours of his health condition as `false.’
“I am not in a hurry to
die; I will live to complete my assignment for Imo people.
“I
went to the land of the dead and our ancestors turned me back saying it was not
yet time,” he said.
The
governor however, acknowledged that he had a challenge that took him far from
the physical.
He
told the crowd that he was healthy and strong, adding that those who wished him
dead were enemies of the state.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) recalled that the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Sam
Onwuemedo said last week that Okorocha traveled outside the country to attract
investors to Imo.
Shortly
after the governor’s departure, it was widely rumoured that he was dead, while
some reports in the social media claimed that the governor’s health condition
was bad.
