This is a political manifesto if I have ever seen
one from Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Nigeria: Hear Governor Okorocha:
"wondered why some children still hawk during school hours despite the state free education programme and construction of 305 model schools in the 305 political wards in Imo". http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89214:imo-drops-six-commissioners-recalls-sacked-teachers&catid=1:national&Itemid=559
While there are many problems with this statement, the biggest one is that
it is a blatant lie. See disclaimer from well informed Ndi Imo thereafter:
"I wish to state here that THERE is NO model school built or renovated in my ward, Assa Town in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government as claimed by the governor. Except such is built this morning. If such is the case, it means the governor is economical with the truth. Has LIES become an act of governance?" - Joel Nwokeoma https://www.facebook.com/#!/joel.nwokeoma/posts/10150952561780750
What I am most disturbed by is the fact that Governor Okorocha would
think that he could get by with this lie. Does he not think that this can be
proven false? Does he truly believe that his constituents are so enamored with
him that they would never check his statements? I am truly worried about
someone who is so arrogant and feels that it is okay to lie about this. If he
is comfortable lying about a matter that is so matter of fact, what else is he
lying about?
Let's send a message to Governor Rochas Okorocha that Ndi Imo elected a governor and not a messiah, and wouldn't tolerate a lying governor.
