To avoid the imminent and looming danger of total breakdown of law and order and to salvage the state from further economic downturns due to the absence of effective checks and balances and lack of financial prudence, a call has gone to the Imo State governor Mr Rochas Anayochukwu Okorocha of Imo State [image above] to tender his resignation forthwith or be impeached by the State House of Assembly.

Making the call is the nation's frontline pro-democracy Non-Governmental and civil Society group- Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) in a media statement jointly authorised by the National Coordinator Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and the National Media affairs Director Miss Zainab Yusuf.

Fearing that the increased but unprecedented mass poverty in Imo State could precipitate social anarchy in the immediate future, the Rights Group has also tasked the Imo State House of Assembly to shake off its notorious toga as the 'Assembly of executive bootlickers' and sycophantic house boys of the Imo State Governor, Mr Okorocha.

HURIWA urged them to embrace their constitutional roles as those elected through a popular mandates to provide the much needed checks and balances through quality oversight responsibilities over members of the Executive and Judicial arms of government with the fundamental focus of providing quality good governance to the suffering millions of Imolites.

"HURIWA is shocked that there's indeed a docile and dysfunctional state House of Assembly in Imo State whose members pursue their selfish financial enticements even as the so- called chief executive allegedly embarks on reckless misapplication of public funds in pursuit of vainglorious adventures to paint himself as father Christmas in the North by building free schools for internally displaced persons.

This is regardless of the fact that majority of children of school ages in Imo State are not just internally displaced persons due to mass poverty but the public institutions known as primary and post primary schools have become derelict and threatens the constitutional rights to life and right to quality education entitled by the pupils by the clear provisions of chapter four of the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 (as amended).

Where you sent why not you go and impeach him your self we from Imo gave him our full support and you can do nothing about it than fall in line.

Yes Imo has lazy lawmakers, lazy Governor, lazy community leaders and lady citizens. Now go and relax your lazy self while you wait for lazy lawmakers to impeach lazy Governor of your lazy state. Onye ara.

Well, imolites should reserve their tears; 2019 is still too far off. They were warned, but didn't listen

Rochas olaniyi Okorocha is a criminal. He has exhausted all his lies.

What we need is revolution

As far as we from Imo are concerned, rochas we know or were you expecting us to vote for that mbese man ihedioha. What rochas did for us is clear for us all to see and don't play the card of him been an huasa man because I know his parent and if there is one man that have the interest of igbos at hearth its rochas and he is going about it with tact, if it comes to choosing an Igbo president who do you think the north would trust and instead of pulling him down why not we support him, are we not tired of been in the wilderness, just look at what 4 month without an Igbo supported president is doing to our business, why not we come together and support our own rather than this crass stupidity we always put up with in alaigbo.

Rochas is a crook
