| Charlyboy at the event |
You recall CharlyBoy had earlier on warned politicians against
turning his late father's burial into a party thing. Turns out he kept
true to his word. Because last Wednesday, Charlyboy stormed out with his
family during a colloquium organized in honour of his late father by
the Imo State government
Speaking with
journalists
in Owerri yesterday, Charley Boy explained why he had to do that, and
according to him, Governor Rochas Okorocha was trying to use his
father’s burial to score cheap political points.
He said the government held a colloquium in honour of his late father
and that despite his earlier warning that the burial should not be
politicized, Governor Okorocha gathered all the members of his
political party and wanted to turn the event into an APC rally.
The event, tagged Day of Tributes for Late Oputa, which saw Governor
Rochas Okorocha, his deputy, Eze Madumere; Senator Chris Ngige; national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Odigie Oyegun, former
deputy governor of Imo State, Dr. Douglas Acholonu, and many dignitaries
present held at the newly built International Conference Centre in
Owerri.
Trouble however started when the master of the ceremony announced that
the next person to speak would be the national chairman of APC, Oyegun.
No sooner had the APC boss mounted the rostrum than the angry Charley
Boy fumed about how his father’s burial was being turned into APC event.
He suddenly rose from his seat and stormed out of the event taking his
siblings and family members along.
