Hundreds of Imo State women under the aegis of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who yesterday staged a protest in Owerri against the visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to the state, for a town hall meeting with traditional rulers, have accused Governor Rochas Okorocha of misleading them.

The women, who expressed regret over their being used to embarrass the president, claimed that they were deceived and brought to Owerri, the state capital, for a purported seminar only to be turned to protesters against Jonathan’s visit.

According to some of the aggrieved women, they arrived at the former chambers of the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, Owerri, now designated Imo Women Development Centre, WDC, to attend a seminar.

They disclosed to journalists that they only realised that they were mobilised for a protest against the use of the place by some traditional rulers led by the embattled Eze Cletus Ilomuanya to receive President Jonathan.

The protesters had blocked the roads to the centre, a situation which led to policemen and soldiers to disperse them using canisters after all appeals for them to leave the venue were ignored.

One of the women from Okigwe Local Government Area, who gave her name as Mrs. Ngozi Anorue said: “We were invited by the governor for a seminar at the centre. But we didn’t know that they only brought us here to protestagainst the president of our country. They invited us aswomen leaders from our communities; that’s why you could see hundreds of us.

“We thought we were coming for CGC seminar as they told us; we didn’t know we were called out to come and fight their fight.

“Please stop blaming me. Do I have any problem with President Jonathan? I don’t. So, why should I come and begin to protest against the president. In fact, most of us believe that we will vote for President Jonathan and later vote for Rochas. So, we were deceived to protest against President Jonathan.”

The embittered woman accused the state government of always using the women and children to fight the governor’s political battle.

Some of the women sustained injuries during their scuffle with the police and soldiers.

At the point the purpoted seminar turned to asking you people to protest, why didn't you then try to ascertain why?
There is no doubt each of you collected some cash to do the hachet job for Okorocha. That being the case, you people should have simply gone home and keep getting ready for GEJ on saturday. It should probably be the last hand out before the election. Would have just gone home.

Initially i ed APC but carefully looked at their way of life i discover that they are old thieves trying to wear new clothes i decamped to PDP at least i know what they have done afterall Northerners have ruled for more than 30 yrs including Buhari but nothing drastically changed

No vex, I gat one question for ya. Had the women protested against Buhari and then said PDP deceived them into protesting against buhari, would you have called it another APC crap?

Apc why
Say yes to transformation
Say yes to jonathan

On seeing that clip and one of the women saying that they were suppose to be using that hall. I immediately knew that this was the work of Rochas. They did not get the public sympathy that they wanted rather people got disgusted by their act.

The women, who expressed regret over their being used to embarrass the president, claimed that they were deceived and brought to Owerri, the state capital, for a purported seminar only to be turned to protesters against Jonathan’s visit.

Yet the lie made front page.

so they just found out they were deceived, smh, I hope they don't deceive themselves again on Saturday and vote in the wrong person. . That's all for now

Oya.

Association of Propaganda & Coincidence
I hail.





Meanwhile we are cruising to victory.

#GEJ is the answer
#say no to gerontocracy



How can one that made my fathers and fore fathers frog jump and gave unnecessary impunity to people in d military harassing innocent business people by enforcing prices and restricting freedom of speech say he's the 'change" we need,

Someone that has disobeyed the electoral act and has refused to attend a debate, whilst running for an office, one can only wonder what will happen if he gets there eventually,
Already they want to
Stabilise oil price
Make 1 dollar to 1 naira
Pay millions of Nigerians stipends
Cancel the second Niger bridge.

And probably make our rail system like the Rivers state Mono rail or Fashola's rail system.
(GODFORBID!!!)



We are moving forward



You messed up our democracy, you can't eat of the fruits there of.


#GEJ till 2019
#GEJ we know
#changeisaprocess
#saynotogerontocracy
#Godblessnigeria

Ngozi how much ego did you collect? do you attend seminars by blocking roads? After discovering you were invited for protest and not seminar....ddidnt you have the choice to go back? Abi na by force to protest??


This is one of PDP'S usual dumb and silly propagandas.

Everything about apc is fake
laptops>>>fake
crowd >>>fake
Everything is just scam...

#neveragain

yawns....everything will end by saturday

Breeze don blow, so fowl nash must open...

I think Nigeria politics is now beyond normal. One story today, contrary story tomoro. I believe this is power of GEJ dollars at work. This is why I hate igbo cos they could easily be bought wt money. All the same, nothing on earth can change this inevitable. As for me and my household we re for GMB.

Since when Rochas moved to APC he has lost his groove





Someone give him his groove back, before the protesting women run him down.

It is in Nigerian politics that people talk and talk and talk. Politicians talk, electorates talk, Ameria talk, terrorists sef talk.

Abeg talk with your PVC. Go and vote!

Enough of this crocodile tears - sorry, crocodile talk

Congregation of fools.

PDP has gone to bribe these ones to come out and claim they are APC women and rubbish the brutality of Jonathan and his thugs of police officers on innocent Imo women on Wednesday. God is watching all of una!
