FOLLOWING the dissolution of the Imo State Executive Council 10 months ago, the Governor, Rochas Okorocha, sworn in 28 new commissioners and 27 Transition Committee Chairmen for the State’s 27 Local Governments.
Ogechi Ololo, the Governor’s biological sister was among the Commissioners sworn in. She was appointed as the commissioner for Happiness and Couples Fulfilment.
Until her appointment, Ogechi was her brother’s (Gov Okorocha) Deputy Chief of Staff.
Nigerians have taken to the social media to react to the appointment of the Gov’s younger sister.
Some of Nigerians tweet are:
@osygene “So If we now have Commissioner for Happiness then maybe there is already a minister for Sadness”
@femifactor “So they would call a meeting for all commissioners and someone would boldly come and say she is the Commissioner for Happiness and Couples’ Fulfillment.”
@chosensomto “Commissioner for happiness and couples fulfilment?” Again Rochas has broken his own record of stupidity. The man is unstoppable.
@Missigbo “Commissioner for happiness and couples fulfilment”. Imo state people need to occupy that government house and throw Rochas out. The man is dangerous and a threat to society.
@AsiwajuOladimej “Okorocha is erecting statutes and appointing commissioner for couples fulfillment and happiness. Pls, tell me why Nigeria shouldn’t be categorized as a failed state”
