Ex Governor, Ihedioha Reacts To Viral Picture Of Him Crying. Reveals Real Reason

Former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, says the picture of him weeping which went viral after the Supreme Court unseated him was taken at a funeral.

Aided by social media, the picture circulated moments after the apex court removed Ihedioha and ordered that Hope Uzodinma be sworn in as governor.

In a statement on Wednesday evening through his special assistant on New media, AIC Akwarandu, Ihedioha said the pictures were taken at a funeral and not after the verdict of the Supreme Court.

β€œThe picture circulating online does not in any way represent the mood of the Former Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, while the Supreme Court Judgment was announced,” he said.

β€œThe picture was taken on Friday, 20th of December, 2019, when the then governor received the body of His departed Commissioner for Environment, Late Hon. Tony Okere, at the Council Chambers.

β€œThe state had organized a reception to pay last respect to the Commissioner at the Executive Chambers of Government House, Owerri.

β€œIt is, therefore, wrong to assert that the picture was taken on the Day of the Supreme Court Judgment.”
