Ohakim Condemns Killing Of Leader Of Imo 10,000 Jobs Restoration Forum by cityweekly(m): 12:02pm On Apr 11, 2015
*Calls on Imolites to vote out Rochas Okorocha



Former Governor of Imo State , Dr Ikedi Ohakim has condemned the killing of the leader of the Imo 10,000 Jobs Restoration Forum , Comrade Ugonna Omereonye , describing it as ``pathetic, crude and inhuman”. Ugonna was murdered yesterday night in his home town by thugs suspected to be of the APC.


Ohakim , who spoke in Owerri , described Ugo’s death as a great loss to the youths of the state. He said that the death had robbed the state of a great one who was not pleased about bad governance in Imo and was after the good of the youths. The Former governor, who described those who killed Ugonna as "barbarians", wondered why some people could take another person’s life without any compunction.

He commiserated with the family of the late Ugo and prayed to God to strengthen them in their moment of grief. He called on Imo youths to come out in large numbers and vote for PDP. ‘This Okorocha's government that is insensitive to the plight of the people of Imo State must go’’ Ohakim said ‘ We can’t allow a government that sacked 10,000 graduates of the state and refused to create employment for the youths to continue ‘

It would be recalled that In June 2011 and in an odd little rhetorical ramble on radio and television, Governor Okorocha announced the suspension of the 10,000 jobs created by the past administration of Ikedi Ohakim and sacked the Chairmen and Councilors of the 27 LGA’s in Imo State. Till date council elections never held in Imo.

To register their displeasure over the suspension of the 10,000 jobs , Comrade Ugonna Omereonye led thousands of the sacked workers to the streets of Owerri demanding that the governor should relapse on their sack from work. The governor told the protesting youths that he had already set up a committee to review the 10,000-job programme, with a view to aligning it with the prevailing realities in the state. For four years Okorocha refused to re engaged the sacked 10,000 workers and Ugonna continued with the struggle to get the jobs back visiting media houses and radio stations.

He told the world that Ohakim's recruitment of the 10 000 job was the best Imo has ever experienced, a job the beneficiaries applied online, and took the interview at Satellite towns closest to them. A recruitment exercise that was sweat less, a job that paid beneficiaries from 50,000 naira upwards, a job that paid 6months salary to its beneficiary. He was made offers for him to abandon the struggle, but he remained strong and committed. Then he started receiving threat messages from some persons who told him to stop the 10,000 job restoration struggle or face the music. Ugonna , was demanding for jobs, he and his colleagues fought hard to get, and instead of the jobs, he was assassinated .
