Public office is sacred and anybody holding it should possess the qualities to make it look attractive.\u00a0 But this cannot be said of the member representing Okigwe state Constituency in Imo House of Assembly, Hon Acho Ihim who seems to have developed mouth diahorea of recent. \u00a0\u00a0Ihim, former Council Chairman who seemed to be carried away by his lawmaker position should know what it takes to be a distinguished honourable member of the House.\u00a0 As the House Committee Chairman on Information, Due Process and Inter Parliamentary Relations, Ihim is expected to be the man \u2013 Friday of every journalist, but the fair skinned former classroom teacher is opposite.\u00a0 Apart from not knowing how to handle his duties by becoming a bridge between the press and the House, as well as cover up for inadequacies of the State Legislature, Ihim lacks courtesy and decorum to handle sensitive matters concerning House publicity.\u00a0 POPULAR SIDE will not blame him for the excess because he lacks the basic training and formal knowledge to be in charge of Information Committee of the House.\u00a0 It is unfair for Ihim to address the Press only when he wants to react to any negative story against the House.\u00a0 And when he wants to do so, he throws caution to the wind and begins to vomit nonsense while addressing journalists on certain issues.<\/p>\n The other day, Ihim opened his mouth too wide to call a journalist a member of the House of Assembly Press Corp, a \u201cbloody he \u2013 goat\u201d and amidst other unprintable words because his media wrote that \u201cImo House of Assembly is broke\u201d.\u00a0 At the end of his skewed Press briefing, Hon Ihim failed to tell the whole world that after the story embarrassed the State Government and the House, money was released immediately to the House and reasonable number of debts paid. \u00a0Even grumbling members were settled. The Okigwe \u2013 Rep man should be proactive in his approach and be cautious to abuse journalists during press briefings.\u00a0 If need be POPULAR SIDE will advise him to consult his predecessor, Hon Nze Ray Emeana for tutorials on lawmakers\/media relationship than go on unnecessary yabis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Public office is sacred and anybody holding it should possess the qualities to make<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-popular-sideara-banko"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","elegant-magazine-featured":"","elegant-magazine-medium":"","elegant-magazine-medium-small":"","elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":""},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"Popular Side\/Arabanko<\/a>","tag_info":"Popular Side\/Arabanko","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=476"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":477,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476\/revisions\/477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
