No political reason for payment of pension arrears —Okorocha on November 13, 2014 / in News 10:41 pm / Comments Tweet Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, yesterday said there were no political reasons for paying arrears of pensions and gratuities to retired workers from 1993 to 2001. He also expressed his determination to pay the last kobo owed pensioners in the state. The governor insisted it was part of his election promises and asked why the opposition party in the state did not clear the pensions and gratuities. Governor Okorocha had on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 paid arrears of pensions and gratuities to workers of the state who retired from 1993 to 2001. The governor said it was a crime against humanity and sin against God to owe citizens who spent the most vibrant parts of their lives to serve the state. He blamed the past governments for not seeing the payment of pension arrears as a special case http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/political-reason-payment-pension-arrears-okorocha-2/ 1 Like 1 Share |

He has been in power since 2011 and only remembered to pay the debts in 2014 three months to a general election and no politics involved according to him. A caring governor would have paid the pension and gratuities immediately he got into office knowing how long these retirees have been owed and not wait till next election to do so. That he had to bring in the past govt into this shows how political the whole act is. Pay them if you feel they deserved to be paid and not make a noise of it. The retirees didn't make a noise they were working for the govt so I don't see why payment of their entitlements should be made with so much noise. |

Wow! Thank you Mr. Gov. However, I'm still trying to believe in your words as most people who visited Imo said that the developments you claimed to have engineered were only on AIT tv station. |

Every good thing is done for a reason. either for reward here on earth or in the world beyond. What is important is that what is good is good. Do good. whether for economic reason, political reason, spiritual reason etc. what matters is that good has been done |
