The incident occurred 20 minutes before most of the invited guests arrived.
SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that the
seater was reserved for the host Governor, Mr. Sullivan Chime and Obi.
The Deputy Governor, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi, represented Chime who is
still out of the country.
The protocol officer, Mr. Ifeanyi
Onukuba, who works with Obi, was shocked at Okorocha’s action and before
he could recover from it, a police officer attached to the Bomb
Disposal Unit in Anambra State, Mr. Felix Alumona, pushed Okorocha when
he was removing the tag bearing Obi’s name from the seat.
Our correspondent observed that
Okorocha’s Aide de Camp, Gabriel Onu, immediately pounced on Alumona,
hitting and tearing his uniform, while other security details attached
to the Imo governor joined in the scuffle.
Sensing that the matter was beginning to
attract people, Okorocha quickly waded in, saying, “Hey, please stop
the fight! Let us not fight over an ordinary seat. I will share the seat
with Peter Obi.”
Minutes after the fracas, Okorocha’s
aides grumbled saying, “Why is it that anywhere we go, they always
reserve a special seat for Obi. Is Okorocha not the leader of Ndigbo?”
When Obi arrived, he squeezed himself in the couch, sitting between Onyebuchi and Okorocha.

Once a tug, always a tug. If Gov. Okorocha can do this in public, imagine what he does in private. He probably has maimed and killed a few people.
And u heard d aids talk? With all d claimed security tension? Hmmm u were really dat close. Or were they shouting too?
Na wa oh political nonsence na dem sabi if they like they should form a̶̲̥̅̊ boxing ring Hº°˚˚˚°ºw will dat affect me . Lindiwe biko post o comment mu

I am from imo state,we voted that rochas okorocha into power not knowing he was a tug and 419, he is fun of saying where u eat I eat, when u cry I cry, what u eat I eat, where u sleep I sleep, if I tel him to come and sleep wit me in one room apartment will we, he is just decieving us wit his sweet tongue, I prefer peter obi to rochas okorocha
Politicians should be careful cos everyone is filming and sharing videos now oooo. The next thing we will hear is that one of them is in wahala ala monica lewinsky style and there is video evidence
Y will u not prefer Obi to him, if Obi was ur Governor u wld hv say oda wise. I m an Anambarian Obi is a stupid man. This is false Okorocha dnt look lik sm one who can do this.

LMBAO. At least he had the liver to do the punching himself instead of sending an aide. O Nigeria!
And his aides have the nerve to call him a leader. Achebe check this dude ASAP :-)

Rochas is our man here in Imo anytime! Y'll think Gov Rochas is TONTO DIKE that every hungry dick and Pussy writes crap about?? U can't mess with a lion buffoons,so slow ur roll mofos!!!
This calls to mind the gospel of St.Mark where apostles James and John where requesting to seat at both sides of Jesus in His kingdom.Christians know what he replied them.
Governor of a state, oga ooo! u can't imagine wat dis kind of person will do over money, if he can punch a protocol office for a seat. God is seeing all of u in HD.

Agbaya! My Igbo peeps, wetin you dey call am for your side?
Why are u all crucifying Okorocha? Becos he was tensed and all of u are saying all these? Becos he's a Governor he's now a saint? What was Arnold Swatznigger? Okay,I'm from Anambra State,I school in Owerri,I should be siding my own Governor shey? But why would the aide prevent him from sitting becos its kept for Peter Obi? So 2 of them or all the Governors cannot stay in a row? Must there be a special seat for each Governor? Are they all not gonna be there? Why would an ordinary aide disrespect a whole governor? If I were Okorocha na sack I go make sure say him get,and for all of u criticizing Owelle,tell me who u have ever liked,tell me that Holy Politician in Nigeria,all of u should go get a life!
Linda gi choo,don't post my comment,I have been counting it for U!
Oh please! This is BS. One sided account from Obi's camp.
Hahahahahahahaha roch my man, u remain the best!
Is it me or are all d posts about ibo pple on this blog negative?..am really dissapointed knowin linda is ibo..anyways,d man didnt punch nobody.i think u need to re-confirm from ur reporter...when he's sober.
Anam-babarian NONI!
GUTTER MOUTH! IT SMELLS OF CRAP SHUT IT, IF U CANT SPEAK PROPER! ASS WIPE.
Atleast he punched a Gov aide and not a helpless Rev Fr.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
igbo leaders ehn. ordinary seat kwa. and why didn't they reserve a seat for rochas, he's also an igbo governor. i'm ashamed to be from abia state, what is that mumu governor still doing there. abi they want to turn all abians into refugees before they will leave the state. at least rochas is even trying for imo, while sullivan chime will be there sleeping around with all the women in enugu state and abuja.
The Gov is a fighter let him disgrace himself jare.
Can We all imagine "State Police" in Context!!! Only God kws wat would have Happened Dat Day!!!

Just as you are an anambrarian, so am I an ogunian, goodluck Jonathan is a bayelsan, mimiko is an ondonian, kanu nwankwo is an imonian, alao akala is an oyonian.
You're such a dimwit. Get rid of your tribalism & be Nigerian.
Tell them ooo.... Biafra!!!!! Hmmmmn I laugh. I tell u if niger break up, because of this oil they have found in anambra, anambra will break out from biafra. U will see...... We are not together at all. If money is not dividing us , its class, power, beef etc!!!! Till ndigbo speak wiv one voice we might not smell presidency!
Lmao. Wz goin to ask o.
Rochas is human nd imperfect by nature. Fø̲̣̣я̅. Those callin im thug,avnt U̶̲̥̅̊ punchd or hit sme1 since U̶̲̥̅̊ wer born?silly hipocrites
Nedu u got it wrong.It is cald governor action movie.part1.
Nigerians "shine your eyes"!!!! Let's know the type of people we elect into public offices. Can u imagine? A governor punching someone in public.LOL!!!! What would he have done if he wasn't a governor? Besides, this is someone seeking the highest office in Nigeria (presidency) a couple of years back. That's how he would have been punching/fighting on international engagements. Nigerians (youths), our future is in our hands. Let's vote wisely in subsequent elections
Agbero governor
u create a good image for urslf&mess it all up witout public contiousness as a public figure...hush!!!okoro na always okoro
Rochas for no go there go fight naaaaa. Him na big boy.by Engr. Austine Ogbebor from Edo state
It was out of order for the aide to deny Rochas the seat, even if it was reserved.. He got what was coming. stupid aide, they didn't send you work, and if he's not careful he would even lose his job over this. Poor judgement. I'm not igbo by the way but I know when someone has been insulted.
Y not ask d correspondent 4rm punch newspaper?
They are all SHAMELESS.
sha sha sha....shame!
DON'T BLAME HIM, JOJO FIT DEY HIM HIM OWN SEAT ABEG.
Soooo... Ur wahala is that Rochas would not sleep with you? Cos we have seen him eat and cry with the masses on TV.
Why ur preference for Peter Obi? Has he eaten, cried and slept with you?
Ify
The kind of bullshit that make rounds in the Nigerian News this days stutter me.
Mumu don't u know it was culled? When u no sabi english. Go to school area boy
Small time now, they will say he is 'humble'
so many 'tug' on this thread. Abeg I no dey
An agbero will always remain an agbero Look at Rochas that has done nothing for Imo state except empty promises Do I blame him I still blame the amebos of Owerri
Did someone say he prefers Obi to Okorocha?
Ok oh pls take our Adaobi
And our never around governor?
It's spelt " thug" not "tug" check your dictionary...completely different meanings folks.
What do people expect when thugs are elected into positions that require class... Even if the forgot to keep a seat for you, there are many ways of handling it... This kind of thing happens when someone has a complex... If you were secured in your position, nothin stops you from sitting in the back... People would have appreciated your humility more than your thuggish attitude... Yes, the organizers messed up, but two wrongs dont make a right...
"There was once a country Nigeria" Chinua Achede...
I seem to be the only one who would not believe that Owelle stoop that low untill I see a recorded evidence.
VAGABONDS IN POWER
Rochas is a tout.
If a Governor can do this in public, imagine what they can do with State Police if it is brought under their authority
better if there was a Rampage....i trust my governor
Mscheeeeeew!!! Dis is a disgrace o. If its Ohakim now, some idiots will open mouth and start cursing
WE R ALL HUMAN EVEN THOSE IN POWER SO LETS NOT JUDGE ATLEAST HE WAS QUIK TO REALISE N PUT HIM SELF TOGETHER.
really unfortunate....... igbo leaders indeed.
hmm. Okorocha would have turned d scene 2 his advantage by simply taken another seat. And applauded 4 humility in action. An act worthy of emulation.
owelle my foot.imo state n it's abandon projects.
