Ebere Nzeworji, an aide to the former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has refuted rumours of his principal’s death, stating that “the immediate past Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District is hale and hearty.”
In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday morning, Nzeworji explained that “a fake viral message has circulated on social media since the early evening of Wednesday, November 6, alleging that Okorocha had passed away in a London hospital.”
Nzeworji clarified that Okorocha was seen at his Unity House office in Garki, Abuja, around the same time the rumour began to spread and that he had recently returned from Owerri, Imo State.
