BUHARI GIVEN AN IGBO NAME

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, Nigeria is one man that has a lot of admiration for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
Governor Okorocha had previously compared Buhari as  Nigeria's Nelson Mandela .
When Buhari travelled to Imo State on Monday to campaign at Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri, Governor Okorocha gave Buhari the name "Okechukwu" in front of APC teeming supporters.
Buhari is from the northern part of Nigeria and the name Okechukwu is borne by people from the Southern part of Nigeria. Governor Okorocha's gesture is to indicate that the Southern part of Nigeria has accepted Buhari.
Okechukwu is a name given to males in Igboland and it means "Gift from God"
