The war of words between Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha and Senator Chris Anyanwu took a new dimension when the latter’s special assistant released a press statement lashing out at the governor. The governor was reported to have made derogatory remarks against the female senator who found the demeanour rather appalling and felt it should not go unattended to.

The statement reads in part; “So, at the Owerri Cultural Festival, he urged the people not to vote for women who are generally prostitutes and who have the tendency to slap their husbands – and as usual he got away with it. Senator

Anyanwu does not fit into his bizarre description and category, but it was well interpreted by the crowd, and reports thereafter, to be a statement directed to his enemy, the Senator.

We all know, it’s no longer a cold war, why Rochas has drawn the battle line with Senator Anyanwu.

Apart from Anyanwu being his strongest and best contender in the 2015 guber race, Rochas will not forget the power wielded by Senator Anyanwu for his victory as governor of the state at the point when Anyanwu and APGA had not been betrayed and sold out by Rochas. This is his sordid nature. Rochas Okorocha needs some sort of therapy, fast.

“To this extent, no counter attack came, and none will come, from distinguished Senator Chris Anyanwu because in his usual cowardice, he made a general statement derogatory to women. Women must come together to fight against such irresponsible and immodest conduct coming from a man who gives impression that he has no reputation to protect; who has no respect for the office and position he represents in the state.

“The great news is that Rochas has raised Anyanwu to the status of candidate.

She has become a he-woman to be feared by king-kong himself. Rochas made a grave strategic error. He asked the general question: will you vote a woman? It is not just Senator Chris Anyanwu that is woman in Imo, but Anyanwu is that one that he fears and dreads, knowing her strength and disciplinary nature.”

These jibes were released by Vivian Jonathan Iwuoha, Anyanwu’s Special Assistant on Public Affairs and Communication.
