Abuja Politician Sent Charly Boy To Disgrace Me At His Father’s Burial Claimed Okorocha, Which Ended Abruptly As He Stopped Him From Speaking In Church

The funeral service for late Justice Chuwudifu Oputa, the father of Charly Boy who passed away few weeks ago ended abruptly yesterday when his son, Charly Boy stopped Imo state Governor Rochas Okorocha from making a speech for the deceased.
Okorocha, who was equally angry that proto­col was breached by Presi­dent Goodluck Jonathan who was represented at the mass by the Secretary of the Government of Federation, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim by speaking before him, rose to make his speech but Charly Boy seized the microphone from the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Jude Ike, which created confusion in the church.
The Parish Priest begged the controversial area fada to honour Okorocha by allowing him to speak but he refused saying he wouldn't want his father's burial to be politicised.
Upset by Charly Boy's action, Okorocha left the church in anger. Continue inside...
Immediately after Okorocha's departure, Imo state Attorney General, Chuwuma Umeh ordered all the lawyers who came to the funeral to leave.
As the lawyers were leav­ing, the dignitaries who at­tended the mass began to leave in droves as Okorocha and his convoy drove away in anger before the body of late Justice Oputa was taken back to his town for burial.
A statement by his spokes­man, Sam Onwuemeodo yesterday said "It is highly regrettable that the son of the late Justice, Mr Charles Emeka Oputa, aka, Charly Boy threw caution to the wind and turned the church service into a political theater that saw him acting or play­ing out the script he drafted in Abuja with some Imo poli­ticians who have remained cowed by the overwhelming popularity of Governor Ro­chas Okorocha."
While expressing surprise at the sudden turn of events, the statement said "the Imo State governor had worked together with Mr Charly Boy both when the late Jus­tice was sick, until the time he died and the preparation for the burial which also en­couraged the state governor to make substantial financial input and also organized a special day of tribute for the late Justice at the expense of state government with Charly Boy also present with other members of the family.
"This is why the sudden change of character of Charly Boy at the church service, in which case, he insisted that the governor would not talk as protocol demanded could not be understood, except that he was acting out the script handed over to him by some of the gubernatorial aspirants from the state who might have been rattled by the thunderous ovation that greeted the governor by the crowd when he was first in­troduced."
The state government fur­ther explained that "at a func­tion like that, protocol had demanded that the host gov­ernor must talk before any other speaker. But Senator Pius Anyim representing the President was first called to talk. Ideally, as a represen­tative of the president, there was no way Senator Anyim would not have talked at the event. But protocol would have seen the governor talk­ing first to welcome the invi­tees to the service as the host governor.
"Perhaps afraid of the popularity of governor Okorocha among the Imo populace that has always made them to hail him where ever and whenever he talks, the few politicians from the state in Abuja who are des­perate to capture power in the state in 2015, saw a willing tool in Charly Boy for them to ensure that the governor would not talk at the event.
"We condemn that ugly in­cident. And also wish to ad­vise politicians from the state to stop heating the polity over power since God is the giver of power. In 2015, God will decide who will govern Imo State and when God decides that, there is nothing anybody can do about it."
