GOLDEN MOMENT: Crippled man confronts Governor Rochas Okorocha

 This past Thursday, Governor Rochas Okorocha did something very touching that left many onlookers speechless moments after he left the scene.  A  very emotional moment worth sharing.
The Governor and Deputy, Sir Jude Agbaso had just left a meeting at the SSG’s office . Unknown to Gov. Okorocha,  he had a visitor who came determined to meet him despite all odds. Sitting comfortably in a strategic position,  waiting patiently as he hoped for his  GOLDEN opportunity.
That moment finally came…
 As the Governors entourage made their way across the premises of the Multi-Purpose, he mustered all the energy within  and wheeled himself towards the entourage.
On sighting the man, Gov.Okorocha’s Security aides tried to shove him away asking that he wheeled his way out the Governor’s path. The man refused to budge and helplessly called out to the Governor in a loud voice  - “Owelleeeeeeee”.

To the surprise of the onlookers,  Governor Okorocha stopped in his tracks looking to see who had called his name. When he approached the man, he stretched out his hands and offered a Handshake



  After they shook hands,we heard the man ask the Governor ” Na so?” meaning ” is that how it is?”

Attacker #1  : See the mouth…..

In the short dialogue, he told the Governor that he needed work. He had made several attempts to meet the Governor but the aides at the Gate would not let him through.  As we can hear in the video, Governor Okorocha asked him what sort of work he was looking for, the man responded that he wanted any kind of job to put food on the table……
Through the eyes of our Governor, one could see empathy and pity as he looked at the man in his wheelchair.  His Excellency directed the man to IMO Foundation and asked him to complete a form. …
Meanwhile, while we were capturing this rare / wonderful moment, the bad belle  Security aides of the Governor harassed us at one point and threatened to destroy our Camera. That is what Journalists see in the hands of   overzealous  Security Bull dogs sorry, AIDES.
We experienced  difficulties uploading the VIDEO so we opted to PHOTO BLOG instead. As we all know, Pictures don’t lie.
