No fewer than 19 unpaid
contractors of Imo origin
have reportedly died,
following the non-payment of
their entitlements from jobs
thy executed for Imo State
Government.
Disclosing this to newsmen
after a peacefully processing
yesterday through Owerri’s
major streets, the Public
Relations Officer, PRO, of
Unpaid Imo Contractors, U-
PIC, Comrade Emenike Uzor,
also lamented that some of
them can no longer take
proper care of their family
responsibilities.
“The unpaid contractors are
Imolites. We ought to be
treated like citizens of the
state. Government had better
realized that we also have
voting strength to join in
determining who becomes
the next Imo State governor”,
Uzor said.
Speaking also, one of the
leaders of the group, Rev.
Udogadi Ononiwu, said the
Rochas Okorocha
administration was owing
them a staggering N180
billion for jobs done.
While describing Okorocha’s
action as “most devastating
and life threatening”, Rev.
Ononiwu however denied that
the demonstration was
politically motivated.
“Our action has nothing to do
with politics. For anybody to
say that our action is
politically motivated is akin to
flogging a child and asking
him not to cry. So far, it is
clear that government has no
plans to ameliorate our
difficulties”, Rev. Ononiwu
said.
Answering another question,
the group’s leader recalled
that government had made
uncountable promises in the
past, on when to pay their
entitlements but regretting
that such promises have
remained a mirage till date.
