If Rochas wants to be a president one day, he has to start from grassroot, now is the time. If he is lost, He shud ask me what I mean by grassroot. Orderwise, after his 8 years in office, he will be placed with Achike Udenwa and Ohakem. From the voice of the poor masses.

One thing I like Owelle for, is that he knows how to please himself, while he makes it look as if he is pleasing u. Well, Owelle enjoy…no be ur fault. Your are building ur international fame to our detriment…who wan cough? Lol.

God help Imo state – why would a state governor be rushing around the world meeting presidents at the expense of imo state.
Ohakim, did not squander money to buy Jet, Udenwa did not squander money to buy Jet.
Private Jet plus fuel and maintenance = drain on imo state resources.
I think Rochas is competing with Hillary Clinton who will visit the most countries in such a short time.
From Kosovo to Ghana, soon it will be Rwanda, Albania and Moldovia

he went to DRAG tourists in….not to ATTRACT them….
Tourists/ foreign investors are attracted by a favourable tourism/business environment whch they wil see from their bedroom witout u coming to tell them…
Our leaders/ their praise singers must stop all these old drama….they r now very boring…
info commisioner shud try n manufacture new reasons for our gov foreign visits…..
Come to think of it, where n where will a tourist visit in Imo?…
How secure wil d tourist be?….
Be creative Mr info minister…
