Okorocha bans Monarch from speaking English Language

Governor Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha of Imo State has every monarch in the state from speakjing english in publ8ic forums or face the risk of loosing their traditional stool.
This directive was giving last week by the governor while inaugurating the state’s Imo Traditional Rulers Parliament and Community Government council.
He urged them to use the forum to project the ideals of igbo language and culture.
The governor insisted that the native language and traditions must not be allowed to go into extinction, adding that the parliament would afford the monarchs opportunity to deal sincerely and creditably with the issue of customary cases and matters in their various domains according to the rule of law.
But is banning people from speaking the official language the best way to promote culture?
