The absence of Governor Ikedi Ohakim at the just ended World Igbo Congress in Florida U.S.A has been attributed to the petition written by a congregation of Pastors in Owerri. The petition we gathered was addressed to the president, complaining about the frequent and unfruitful abroad trips of his excellence.
The doctrinal divergent Pastor’s buried their deference and united in the petition against the governor whom they accused of mismanaging the state and they further decried the rampant and unabated kidnapping, armed robbery and over all lack of security in the state. The petition was addressed to the President and copied the Director of State Security Services (SSS)
In a swift reaction, the image maker of the governor, Mr. Steve Osuji confirmed the presence of a petition but debunked that it was the petition that stopped the governor from attending the WIC. According to him, the president has no right to stop the foreign trip(s) of any governor.
