My Real Passion for Governor Rochas Okorocha—Nkiru Silvanus

Nollywood actress turned politician, Nkiru Silvanus, has disclosed to those that care to listen that the reasons why she speaks passionately about Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha, is as a result of his good works in the state since assuming office.

According to her, the Governor has so far been able to reposition the state to a stage where no other government has been able to achieve and has been so loved by the people of the state.

Nkiru while speaking with Leadership newspaper blamed the viral rumours of her closeness with the governor as act of propaganda from enemies who do not mean well for the state.

In her words, “Rumours are what they are, baseless rumours! The governor is my boss, but it will be unfair to see something good and not mention it. I speak passionately about him all the time, because of his good works, his belief and his passion for positive change. This is a man whom the people of Imo generally love for his good works. Since Okorocha became governor, the number of dualised road networks has increased, creation of new access roads are uncountable, while old dilapidated roads have been repaired and rural roads are uncountable. Positive impacts have also been made in the rehabilitation of public utilities, health, agriculture, youth empowerment, infrastructure improvements, etc. I can list his achievements from now till tomorrow and it won't end.”

Speaking on the election shift in date, the actress noted that it was a big disappointment for the country and its democracy as everything would have been long forgotten and more focus would have been placed on how to move forward.

“For me, it was a huge disappointment because by now, the nation would have left the corridor of uncertainty to the path of moving forward. The postponement is a big setback for the nation and democracy but anything for the peace and progress of Nigeria is okay! So we patiently await the holding of elections on the new dates,” she said.
