The Imo State governor,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been sworn in for a second term in office.
Performing the
swearing-in ceremony at the Dan Anyiam stadium, Owerri today, the Imo State
Chief Judge, Justice

governor to discharge his duties in line with the provisions of the
constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.
Addressing a crowd of
Imolites that gathered at the stadium to witness ceremony, Governor Okorocha said
he is in the business of governance “to take the glory of the job rather than
the profit of the job”, adding that his government will embark on wealth
creation and employment opportunities for the people through the building of
industries and factories.
