By Tunde Johnson, Abuja

Rochas Okorocha, Governor of of Imo State has said that he did not sack Eze Samuel Ohiri, Chairman of the state Council of Traditional Rulers, as insinuated in the social media.

The Governor refuted the report in statement issued by Sam Onwuemeodo, his Chief Press Secretary, in Owerri on Wednesday.

Okorocha described the report as `baseless’ and urged the general public to disregard the rumour.

According to him, if there is need to sack Ohiri or any other government official, the information will be communicated through the appropriate quarters.

“How can I sack a top government official on the pages of newspapers? “I have not sacked Eze Ohiri and now that it is clear to both rumour mongers and the general public, it is left for them to say their source of information,” he said.
