Okorocha
Is After My Life, Alleges Uche Ogbuagu The former aide of governor
Rochas Okorocha on Entertainment, Uche Ogbuagu has alleged that his life
and that of his family members are in danger following the interview he
granted to newmen recently where he announced that his album on the
state of Imo affairs will be released soon. Ogbuagu, during an interview
with newsmen Tuesday, alleged that he has
received series of threats from different phone numbers traced to the
aides of governor Okorocha. Who told him to drop his intention to
release his new album or have his entire family wiped, while others
warned him never to open up. Some of the numbers used by the callers
according to him were 08055501200, 08037094307, 08037006818,
08037103828. Among others, which he said have been forwarded to security
agencies for further investigation, stating that governor Okorocha will
be held responsible should anything happens to any of his family
members. The Akabor-born public relations guru, who said that his only
crime before governor Okorocha was demanding for his 19 months unpaid
salaries, stated that he does not care about other arrears, owned him by
the state government, maintaining that his salaries should be paid to
him. "I worked for the money and it should be paid to me. A year and
seven months salary is not a small money. Governor Okorocha should pay
me my money. I don't care about other arrears, all I care for is my
salary. Each time there was cabinet reshuffle, my name will be enlisted,
but he will still call me back to be working for him. Was I doing a
Charity work? He was paying others, while I was spending my personal
money" he further stated. He maintained that no amount of intimidation
or harassment will make him . stop the release of his album,
stating that Imolites have been kept in the dark since the inception of
the present APC-led government in the state. "I know the God I am
serving and He will not allow my enemies see me because I am fighting a
just cause. Imo people should hold Governor Okorocha responsible if
anything happens to me or any of my family members" he said. Meanwhile,
stakeholders in Imo entertainment sector have described it as unfair if
Uche Ogbuagu's claim of 19months unpaid salary is a reality. They
wondered why a man that contributed so much in uniting as well as
building Imo entertainment sector should be treated as such, while
calling on the state governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha to redress his
steps on that. Speaking to newsmen recently, a veteran artiste, Chike
Opara wondered why such treatment should be given to someone like Uche
who he said has what it takes to mar or make any government in power,
while calling on Uche Ogbuagu to remain calm, assuring him of the
group's unalloyed support. via the moment
