Days after the reintroduced Ahiajoku lecture series was organized by the Imo State government, the dust raised by a comment against the former governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha by Femi-Kayode is yet to abate.
Femi Fani- Kayode, otherwise known as FFK has taken a swipe at the former governor who he described as an “intellectual barbarian”
Speaking at the event when invited to make a comment as a guest, FFK raised concern why Okorocha didn’t hold the Ahiajoku for the eight years he was in office.
Moments after the speech, divergent views erupted from different quarters. While some were in defense of the speech made by FFK, others objected and condemned the act.
Majority of those who spoke in favour of the comment were of the view that from what Okorocha did in Imo in the past years, FFK’s quotation aptly fits into his legacy left behind. Those in support of the FFK’s posture about Okorocha are mainly those opposed to the immediate past administration and those found in Ihedioha side.
Not satisfied with the language used to address the former governor, his allies, comprising former aides and associates launched a counter-attack by describing FFK in unfair language.
Unpalatable statements and write ups against FFK have also been raised to diminish his status in the society.
The media team of Okorocha is not left out as they also launched a verbal war using the conventional and new media to diminish FFK.

PDP Stakeholders’ Meeting: Anyanwu Denies Leaving PDP, … Rekindles Hope of Party Members, Empowers Ward, LGA, State Exco with over 150m The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has denied rumour that he was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, assuring party members that he would remain in the party even if everyone leaves. “Do not be deceived, confused or misled by anyone, I am in PDP and will remain in the party until our mandate is achieved. Take note that ADC or APP will never win any election in Imo state and Nigeria at large. Anyone deceiving you or spreading falsehood that PDP is dead is only suffering from schizophrenia” “It’s only in PDP that you can find matured party members, our party is like the old NPP where it regarded human beings. Those who claim to be members and leaders of ruling party are finding it difficult to feed, but in PDP, we are feeding well even when we are not in power” Anyanwu made this declaration on Wednesday while addressing members during the New Year Special Stakeholders meeting at party secretariate, Owerri. Accordingly, Anyanwu, in appreciation of the dedication of party members, stakeholders, ward, LGA and State Exco lavishly rewarded them with gift items valued over 150m tagged; “New Year Unity Gift” Adding further, Senator Anyanwu expressed delight that despite minor internal wrangling that almost derailed the vision of PDP few months ago, party members in the state remained dedicated and steadfast with the party. According to him, the trailer load of over 1000 bags of rice and other items to blend it were not to induce them, but to appreciate are them for working for the party in the state. He reiterated the need for all hands to be on deck towards building a viable and formidable political party in the state, adding that those stagging a gang up against PDP in Imo State and Nigeria do not have what it takes to dislodge the party in any contest. He called on party leaders, critical stakeholders and members across the 305 wards in the state not to be deterred or allow political shenanigans of unstable politicians to distract them from working for the party. In attendance include, the 27 LGA Chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, State Working Committee, Southeast leaders, former LGA Chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, critical leaders and special citizens, among others.
