The Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha was alleged to have suffered a heavy slap from the hands of a ghost which landed him in the hospital.
The Imo state government has now come out to deny this. The denial was contained in a statement by Okorocha’s chief press secretary, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo.
He said, “The governor had travelled to meet with some of the investors who had invited him for further discussions on the prospects of their coming to invest in the State.
Onwuemeodo also said that his boss is a Christian, hence does not know what it means to see “a ghost or ghost women”.
“He travelled with few economic aides, and we informed Imo people and the general public and as God would have it, two days to the planned trip, the daughter gave birth to a baby boy and he would use the opportunity to visit his daughter.”
The aide said that if indeed the governor was sick, then the report would have been made public.
“Ailment or sickness has been there with mankind, the angle that makes the whole claim funny is the ghost dimension and that explains how spiritually poor those behind this balderdash are.”
He laid the blame of the report at the feet of the PDP.
“We accused them (PDP) of being behind the malicious audio because it came twenty-four hours after the convincing defeat of the party by the APC in the re-run elections in Okigwe senatorial zone and the three state constituencies of Isiala Mbano, Oru East and Owerri West’’, he noted.
