According to PUNCH, at the
80th birthday celebration of former vice president, Chief Alex Ekwueme,
in Enugu yesterday, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State on punched a protocol officer who refused to allow him sit on a
chair reserved for the Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi.
In retaliation, a police officer attached to the Bomb
Disposal Unit in Anambra State, Mr. Felix Alumona, pushed Okorocha when
he was removing the tag bearing Obi’s name from the seat. Okorocha’s Aide de Camp, Gabriel Onu, immediately pounced on Alumona,
hitting and tearing his uniform, while other security details attached
to the Imo governor joined in the scuffle. Sensing that the matter was beginning to
attract people, Okorocha quickly intervened, saying, “Hey, please stop
the fight! Let us not fight over an ordinary seat. I will share the seat
with Peter Obi.”
Our leaders need to understand that they are the people's servants, without this understanding and humility, pride will rip them apart.
