Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State
has left London where he was receiving medical treatment for Israel.
Okorocha had left Nigeria on April
20, 2013, after he sustained a head injury in a car accident.
When an enquiry was made from one of
his aides on Friday it was learnt that Okorocha had left London for Israel.
Okorocha’s Senior Special Assistant
on Media, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, confirmed that the governor had left London. “He
has left London and he is doing very well. He is currently in Israel,” he said.
Another top government official, who
pleaded anonymity said that
the governor was in Israel for a second round of examination.
Uzoukwa, however, denied that the
governor moved to Israel on health grounds.
“He only went to Israel to
attend to certain matters and will be back soon,” he said.
Okorocha was involved in a car crash
on Orlu-Owerri Road in the state on April 19.
The accident occurred when a Mercedes
Benz 200 ran into the governor’s convoy and had a collision with his own car.
Okorocha was on an inspection tour of
projects in Orlu area when the crash occurred.
“The accident led to a minor cut on
the governor’s scalp,” Uzoukwa had said.
He said Okorocha’s head was bandaged,
but noted that he was stable and strong.
Okorocha had said he would seek
further medical attention due to the level of impact of the accident on him.
“Although the accident left me with a
cut and some minor injuries, I am fine. I will, however, seek further medical
attention because of the degree of impact made by the crash,” the governor was
quoted as saying after the crash.

Travelling abroad wasn't necessary since it was a minor cut. Is he calling our doctors incompetent 2 treat even minor scalp injuries or does he regard all our hospitals as dirty or what. Let him just tell us he's taking a vacation abroad, its less insulting

ReplyDeleteWhy the insult do u know the degree of the impact.pls lets mind what we say,becos accident can happen to anyone.it's not his fault dat he can afford the medical bill abroad.
ReplyDeleteIs that minor cut enough for a governor to travel abroad? Is there no medical centres/ hospitals in Nigeria that can treat minor cuts? That is a means of wasting state funds.
