Following the outcome of the just
concluded Imo gubernatorial
elections in Imo State, youth of
Okohia, Isiala Mbano, country home
of Governor Ikedi Ohakim stopped
the outgoing governor from
attending a Church service on
Sunday. The youth were expressing
their anger over the governor 's
neglect of the community
throughout his four years in office.
Youth of the community, on
learning that the governor and his
family were billed for a special
church service at the St. Michael 's
Anglican Church, Okohia the home
parish of the governor, stormed the
church smashing windows. They
drove away the priests who were
supposed to officiate the church
service.
No entrance
They barricaded the church insisting
that the governor would not be
allowed to attend any church
service in the area. The youth,
numbering about 50 wanted the
governor to explain what he did for
his immediate community during
his reign as the chief executive of the
state.
The Chief of Staff, Emma Ohakim,
was said to have gone to the church
to intervene in the matter but the
youth remained adamant. They
challenged him to point to any
benefit the community got from the
administration. The church service
was aborted.
Yesterday, the group assembled
again to continue with the protest
but security operatives were swiftly
deployed to the area to quell the
action.

This is sad, they should have understand that Governor is there to serve the entire state not his immediate community.

This is mighty be easier to say but not the right reason to hold as reason for this very act.

If the media is telling us the whole truths, I don't think this right thing to do.

Do you people believe in the saying "charity begins at home" i thing that is the driving force of the youth

In this case are you suggesting He should cater away public funds to his community?
