The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has denied any form of registration, especially for the Hausa Community in the state, describing the rumour as a manifestation of "Dirty Politics Chapter 1 Verse 1". The Governor, who berated the Senate for discussing the issue, explained that the said registration came to him as a surprise. He argued that "you just don't talk on something that doesn't exist" insisting that "there is nothing of that sort". He, however, noted, "my pains lies in the fact that my Senate could not place a call to a sitting governor, to find out whether this allegation is right or wrong; and the allegation came from nowhere.
