Resume Work Now Or Be Sacked, Okorocha Tells Imo Workers

Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has ordered the striking civil servants to resume work immediately or risk being summarily sacked.

The Governor read the rio act while addressing some youths, who paid him a solidarity visit at the Government House, Owerri.

While accusing the workers of reneging on the recent agreement it freely entered with the state government, Governor Okorocha also described the current strike as “illegal and would not be tolerated next time”.

It was the considered opinion of the Governor that “the strike was politically motivated and principally aimed at rubbishing the good reputation of his administration”.

He wondered why civil servants should embark on strike “because of just months of unpaid salaries” owed by his administration.

Okorocha was particularly irked that no other state went on strike over non-payment of salaries, considering the economic meltdown facing the country.

“I do not know of any other state whose workers went on strike as a result of unpaid salaries. Imo workers treated me unjustly by embarking on the current industrial action”, Okorocha said.

Explaining why he took the decision to sack the striking workers if they fail to resume, the Governor said a lot of youths in the state are in need of employment.

Meanwhile, labour leaders in the state have advised civil servants to ignore the threat issued by the Governor, stressing that labour may completely shut down the state if government fail to pay their unpaid salaries.

Labour also ordered pensioners not to appear before any verification team set up by the state government, stressing this verification had been conducted several times by the present administration, without paying the pensions

Rochas Okorocha Denies Erecting Obama's Handshake Bill Board In Owerri

Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha has denied putting up the photo of him shaking hands with US president Barack Obama as a billboard in Owerri. His statement below...

The attention of the Imo State Government has been drawn to His Excellency, Governor Rochas Okorocha's photographs with president Barak Obama been shown on the digital billboard screen and flex billboard banner.
To say the least, the Imo Governor or the state government he superintends did not place the photographs on the referenced screen or billboards, and was not aware or informed of such development, and could not have authorized anybody or any group to do that since it was totally unnecessary.


At the level God had placed the Imo Governor even before his becoming governor in 2011, he would not have authorized anybody to begin to advertise or display his photographs with the American President.

We had done our investigations and had discovered that some politicians in the state did that and they had done it with good intentions without their knowing the implications since they are not experts in public relations. They had thought that by doing the adverts they were going to impress the governor. And we can understand that. The government has however told them to put a stop to that.

The government also wants to use the opportunity offered by this development to demand that any body who wants to do any advert for the governor in any media or publicity outfit should get clearance from designated officials of the government. We appreciate the love of those behind the adverts in question for the governor, but next time, when they intend to do that they should get clearance before going public.

We are aware of the fact that Imo people love their governor and do certain things to appreciate him, but they should please be thorough enough, by informing the government to avoid playing into the hands of habitual opponents.

It was a good thing that His Excellency, President Mohammadu Buhari in his magnanimity included the Imo governor in his team for the visit to President Obama, but the governor had got to a level that he could not have allowed the adverts in question if informed.

So, we take the liberty to call on the general public who had seen or who will see the photographs on the networks in question to discard them. They are not from the Imo State Government.

Tribunal dismisses Ihedioha’s petition against Okorocha

The Imo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal has struck out the petition of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the April 11 governorship poll in Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, against the election of Governor Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressives Congress.

Ihedioha, the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, had gone to the tribunal to challenge Okorocha’s victory, alleging mass irregularities and non-compliance of the election with the Electoral Act.

The tribunal, however, disagreed with the petitioner and struck out the case in its ruling on Wednesday in Owerri.
