Actress Shirley Igwe Opens Up On Her Relationship With Gov. Rochas Okorocha

Nolywood actress, Shirley Igwe, who in October 2013, was appointed as the principal protocol officer to Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, and held the post for about two years before quitting to face her acting career, has denied ever dating the governor..

During her time as the governor’s aide, tongues went wagging that there was an amorous affair between the duo. In an interview with the PUNCH, the actress said;

“I am not aware that people said I had an amorous relationship with the governor. That is not true . I worked as his protocol officer and that made us quite close.

Apart from handling his guests, I handled every other aspect of his itinerary. I was at every meeting and convention with him, so it is very common and I would not be surprised if they linked us together.

If they see a pretty lady everywhere with someone, people would easily jump into conclusion that they are dating.”

The pretty damsel further opened up on her love life as she disclosed that she is not in a relationship at the moment.

While hinting on the kind of man she would love to walk down the aisle with, the actress who recently turned 30, added that she was not in a hurry to settle down. Igwe said;

“I don’t feel any pressure to get married at 30.”

As regards her ideal husband, she said wants a God-fearing man, who is fine and loving.
