The Imo State Government has denied renaming Assumpta Avenue in Owerri, the state capital, after President Muhammadu Buhari.
A statement released by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Wednesday described it as misinformation from the opposition parties.
The statement quoted the governor, Rochas Okorocha, as saying that President Muhammadu Buhari road begins from Government House Roundabout, Owerri and terminates at Warehouse Roundabout.
Governor Okorocha said that the purported claim was to create an impression of misunderstanding between the Catholic faithful and the government.
He also said Imo government was not in any war with the Catholic Church and urged mischief makers to desist from creating tension in the state.
Furthermore, the statement stated that the government was shocked when some youths destroyed a brick with the inscription Muhammadu Buhari road at the popular Assumpta Roundabout on Tuesday.
The youths claimed that Okorocha was planning to rename the road after President Buhari.
There is actually a limit to which the people can take.
well its his state na
renaming a street isn’t really bad
its just the tension He would be stirring by doing so
remember the Statue thingy + Happiness ministration
Youths Be awoke
The youths are now awake I hope
Awake to riot and destroy stuffs

Lol….naso

I just hope he wasn’t actually planning this cos it will be very ludicrous
What’s wrong if he actually even wanted to change the name of the street to Buhari street?? Well at least he has clarified that he has nothing to do with renaming the street. So Owerri Youths, you can now relax, make una no kill una self because of change of name of street
He can do and undo because he is the governor.
them don dey vex tey tey for the guy oo
anything he does now is annoying
even him breathing
Why would you name a street after PMB
I don’t sew anything wrong with it, but sha Sam Onwuemeodo has already said the media was informed, that Rocha’s never made the statement of renaming the assumpta street to buhari Street.
He enjoys the social media attention
That’s is human being for you
I said it another one
Nice one bro
