Nkiru Sylvanus Responds To Rumour On Romance With Imo Governor


The ever resolute Nollywood actress, Nkiru
Sylvanus has finally broken the long observed
silence after she gave out her words on the
rumour peddled by rumour-mongers over her
alleged romance with the Imo state governor,
Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha.
Describing the long meted rumour on her as
being horrendous and handiwork of disgruntled
politicians, Nkiru Sylvanus in an exclusive
interview stated below:
It is unfortunate that people can say such false
stories. I've been working for this man even
before he decided to contest for the
gubernatorial election. During the elections in
Imo State I was all over the State. I attended
every major campaign event for His Excellency,
Governor Okorocha.
I was there when he declared his interest to
aspire for the office of governor in Imo state.
Then, people did not talk about my alleged
relationship with him. They saw me on T.V they
heard me on the Radio, they saw me take part in
the Street Rallies, they saw me at the INEC office
in Owerri, yet nobody talked about me being in a
relationship with him.
Now that God has made it possible for him to
become a governor the rumour mongers have
started talking. All of a sudden, they accuse me
of sleeping with a man I look up to as my
mentor and father simply because he appointed
me as one of his advisers.
Some people in our society find it very hard to
believe that a lady can ever get anything on
merit, especially in the Nigerian context. Once a
lady gets to a top position in government or any
other sector in the society and it happens to
come from a man, it is often assumed that she
is romantically linked to the man.
This mindset of our people is not good at all and
it needs to be addressed. I believe that a lot of
women out there have got what it takes to arrive
at the top without sleeping around with men. But
I am not discouraged because I know that it is
the hand-work of detractors and disgruntled
politicians.
