Meanwhile, a former aide to Okorocha said contrary to speculations in many quarters, the monarch didn’t use his walking stick on the ex-governor.
Speaking on the incident, Okorocha's spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, warned politicians, who he said, were looking for favour from the state government, to stop dropping the name of the former governor.
In another report, Okorocha disclosed that the security crisis in the country has reached a stage where the federal government is helpless.
Okorocha made this disclosure on Sunday, March 7, in an interview in Abuja, with the former governor adding that the Muhammadu Buhari-led government is confused on how to put a stop to the spreading wildfire.
The lawmaker, who noted that security is a "major challenge" in Nigeria, further maintained that it is "as a result of accumulative issues" which the government ignored in the past.
Meanwhile, he submitted that the escalation of the EndSARS protest into violence and wanton destruction of properties is because of "unfair leadership for a long time."
Addressing newsmen in Abuja on Friday, October 23, he noted that the government has been "selfish in handling the affairs of this country."
While noting that the protest is a wakeup call to the Nigerian leaders, the senior lawmaker stated that people in the position of authority must rise to their responsibilities to ensure that such future occurrences never happen again.
