What I Did When Monarch Hit Me Inside Plane – Okorocha Opens Up

Rochas Okorocha has opened up on what transpired between him and Eze Cletus Ilomuyanya while aboard an Air Peace flight from Owerri to Abuja. Okorocha said that he opted to be a man of peace, a Christian instead of fighting back at the monarch after he was allegedly hit by the monarch.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG had reported the fight between Okorocha and Eze Ilomuyanya on Sunday, March 28 culminating in the relocation of the former governor to another seat.

Reacting to the incident, Okorocha, through his media adviser, Sam Onwuemeodo, described Ilomuanya’s assault on him as “disgraceful, unfortunate, condemnable, embarrassing, ungodly, indecent and unexpected from someone who had led the state Council of Traditional Rulers.

Onwuemeodo revealed in the statement that Okorocha was the one who chose to sit near ‘his brother’ but was forced to relocate after the monarch hit him with a stick.

Responding to the incident reported on social media on Sunday, Onwuemeodo said the monarch was fired by his desire to return as chairman of the Council of Traditional Rulers, after Okorocha removed him from that position.

According to the statement, people like Ilomuanya “have told themselves that the easiest way or method to adopt to achieve their aims or ambitions will be to insult or attack Okorocha, leveraging on the hostility of the government in the state now, against Okorocha and his family.

“If Senator Okorocha saw his brother, llomuanya and chose to sit close to him, that action should be highly commended and applauded. It showed that Okorocha had behaved not only as a Christian, but also as a statesman. It showed that he had nothing personal against llomuanya.

“Again, if llomuanya could confront Okorocha to the extent of hitting him with his walking stick and Okorocha did not retaliate but hastily relocated to another seat, we will only say that Okorocha has acquitted himself very well as a two term former of Imo State governor and now a sitting senator and a worthy ambassador of the state and the nation. He has shown character worthy of emulation.”
