Rochas Okorocha, the immediate past Governor of Imo State and Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, has been named the Otunba Asoludero of Iselu Kingdom, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Okorocha secured the Otunba Asoludero of Iselu Kingdom chieftaincy title, barely two weeks after he and his wife, Nneoma, was honoured with a chieftaincy title by the Emir of Daura in Katsina State.
Disclosing the former governor’s new chieftaincy title, the Eselu of Iselu Kingdom, Oba Ebeneezer Akintunde Akinyemi, in a press release, stated that Okorocha has over the years exemplified a track record of unifying people of different tribes across the country, through his actions, deeds, and philanthropical gestures.
According to the monarch, Okorocha is a bridge builder.
“Despite the happenings in the country, we have been able to identify a detribalized Nigerian who is concerned about the wellbeing of every Nigerian, irrespective of their colour, tribe, and religion.
“We hold Senator Rochas Okorocha in high esteem for that which he recorded in Imo State as a former governor and the lofty heights he has attained through the Rochas Okorocha Foundation that has offered no fewer than 25,000 less privilege and orphans free scholarship from primary school to university education.
”We are optimistic that this new task will set Oja Odan, Ogun State, and by extension Yoruba land into greater heights,” he added.
While heaping praises on Okorocha, the monarch revealed that the serving Senator has pledged to establish a school in the border town for the less privileged and orphans, a gesture he said will improve the standard of education within and around Yewa.
