Gov. Okorocha Visits Kano Over Boko Haram Attacks

The governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, is in Kano for on-the-spot assessment of the recent bomb attacks by the Boko Haram sect in the state. While in Kano, Gov. Okorocha will assess the level of destruction of lives and property, especially as it affects Igbos and other Nigerians. The governor will also pay a visit to his Kano State counterpart, Alhaji Rabiu Kwakwanso, and the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, to condole with them over the attack on the people of the state.

The visit is in line with Gov. Okorocha’s commitment to the peaceful co-existence of all Nigerians regardless of their ethnic background. He urged Nigerians to view the attack by the Boko Haram sect as one aimed at the nation rather than along ethnic, religious or sectional lines. He therefore called on Nigerians to rise above religious and ethnic sentiments and work collectively towards building a nation of our dreams.
