Following the recent call by the special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political matters, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak for the impeachment of Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha; the Governor has asked the president to caution his adviser in order not to stair dust in the nation’s Heartland.
Okorocha while speaking through his Information Commissioner, Mr. Chinedu Offor, and the Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, said the governor committed no crime by not reinstating the deposed 27 local government chairmen in the state, as ordered by the Appeal Court in August.
Mr. Offor described Gulak’s statement as uncalled for and unbecoming, thus calling him to stop heating up the polity unnecessarily.
His word: “Imo people were really shocked and disappointed to hear such a reckless statement from a man who has no business in the politics of Imo State and we want him to tell the world whether he was speaking for himself or was sent by Mr. President.
“The matter for which he wants the governor impeached is already before a court of competent jurisdiction and we want the President to sanction Gulak before he commits further blunders that could jeopardise the government and the people of Nigeria,” Offor said. The Special Adviser on Media to Okorocha asked Gulak to advise Mr. President to recall Justice Ayo Salami, as directed by the Judicial National Council, JNC, before extending his counsel to other leaders in Nigeria.
“He who goes to equity must do so with clean hands and I think it is always good for one to remove the speck in his eyes before seeing the log in another’s eye.
“We see the call by Gulak for Okorocha’s impeachment as an attack by another attack dog of the Presidency and an assault on the people of Imo State House of Assembly and its people.While calling on Gulak to retract the inciting statement within 24 hours or face the wrath of the government, the SA however said that Okorocha would not be distracted by the antics of the PDP-led government to abandon the good work he has started,” he added.
