Okorocha Sets up Committee to Compensate Supporters

17 May 2013


Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has inaugurated a 10-man committee christened ‘Committee of Don’t Forget’ aimed at reaching out to relevant persons that fought for his victory as governor.

Inaugurating the committee at the Government House Owerri, Okorocha said the state’s Rescue Mission administration resolved to set up the committee to recognise those who gave their supports in the fight to ensure the enthronement of the incumbent government.

According to the governor, government may tend to forget those who played virtual roles during the struggle, but asserts that the newly-inaugurated committee will ensure compensation to the deserving persons.

He charged the committee with the responsibility of creating an interactive forum to enable him dialogue and reconcile with members of the groups where necessary.

The group the committee is expected to interface with include the Gold Card members, Keke operators, artisans, youths, women, clergy and agenda group.

The chairman of the committee and Deputy Speaker, Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Donatus Ozoemena, stated that Okorocha would always rewards loyalty and good gestures.

He, however, called for the data base of those public and individuals who supported the state government during election.

Ozoemena also expressed happiness that the governor was keeping fate with his electioneering promises unlike what was obtainable in the past.

He assured that the committee would do everything within its reach to ensure success in the assignment.
