Okorocha’s Aide Breaks Silence as Death Rumours Spread

Ebere Nzeworji, an aide to Senator Rochas Okorocha, has debunked claims that his principal died in a London hospital.

According to Nzeworji, the former Imo State Governor is “hale and hearty.” He clarified that Okorocha was spotted at his Unity House office in Abuja around the time the rumour started circulating.

Nzeworji attributed the false news to malicious intentions.

The aide said, “One can now begin to wonder about the motives of those behind this fake news.

“Senator Okorocha is a patriotic Nigerian who has served at both state and national levels with distinction, building friendships with well-meaning individuals across the country and the globe.

“The former governor has never wished anyone dead and is always cheerful and caring about the wellbeing of others.

“We, therefore, call on all well-meaning Nigerians and the global community to disregard this fake news and be assured that His Excellency, Senator Rochas Okorocha, is hale and hearty.”

Nzeworji added that Okorocha recently attended the funeral of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu on November 1 and hosted Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu at his Owerri residence.
