Rochas Okorocha’s Ludicrous Plea For Aid To Pay Salaries. by PhockPhockMan: 1:00pm On May 09, 2015 |
By Yemi Adebowale, yemi.adebowale@thisdaylive.com 07013940521 Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday in Abuja made an atrocious request on behalf of failed Nigerian governors who have consistently failed to meet the rudimentary responsibilities of paying civil servants as and when due and providing basic infrastructure in their states. He wants cash bail out for them from the incoming administration of Muhammadu Buhari in order to clear accumulated unpaid salaries. It is not about APC or PDP. These failed governors cut across both PDP and APC. Okorocha painted a picture of a desperate economic situation that has made it impossible for them to pay workers’ salaries. He told Buhari: “As it stands today, most states of the federation have not been able to pay salaries and even the federal government has not paid April salary and that is very worrisome. By May and June, that (salaries) will be three months. We wonder with the huge expectation from Nigerians and people who have voted us into power, we are hoping that the president-elect will do whatever is humanly possible to bring about a bailout not only in the states but the federal government at least for people to get their salaries and turn around the economy.” http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/rochas-okorocha-s-ludicrous-plea-for-aid-to-pay-salaries/208819/ 5 Likes 4 Shares |

Rochas Kanayo Okorocha runs a nauseatingly populist Government in IMO State, handing out money like confetti and not caring about the future and fiscal sustainability. That is why he has run out of funds for the payment of the salaries of civil servants, who unfortunately do very little work themselves. Last Christmas , these civil parasites benefitted from the Ba Kwomi (I don't care) largesse of Alhaji Rochas who paid them a performance bonus of a "13th month" salary, and gave them two weeks paid vacation. Why are we then surprised that he cannot pay proper salaries? The IMO State 2015 budget is the most lopsided in the country , in favour of recurrent expenditure (86%) , leaving only a paltry 14% for capital projects. This is the man that the people reelected to punish them for the next four years!!! 4 Likes |

Let’s go back to the main issue. I had said it in previous articles that these governors were not voted into power to give excuses. They should simply resign if they can’t do the job and allow people with good ideas and political will to come in. Endorse! If they are bereft of ideas, they should all resign. No be by force. Imagine a state like Osun implementing free education when it can’t pay salaries of the teachers in the schools. Imagine what just N1000 per pupil (per term) in public schools will do to Osun State’s revenue and teachers’ salaries? Late Awolowo had the financial implications of his free education programme in the defunct Western Region properly worked out before implementation. These days, these governors just introduce all sorts of free things - free education, free health, free books, free marriage, and the rest of them, without considering the financial implications in the short, medium and long term. As sensible as this writeup is, this is the part I don't agree with......... Majority of them are beneficiaries of free education so why deny the present generation what they themselves benefit from. They should focus on all other areas to do their cut saving measures. |

[size=13pt]Politicians should never be trusted.. He cant pay salaries of civil servants in his state but can pay HIS OWN Salary and that of HIS AIDES and expenses included... His pleas are for the birds.. If he is indeed a changed agent as he claimed, he should use his loot/money and pay off part of the state civil servants salary later FG will reinburse him else all these his talks are truckloads of Crap![/size] 2 Likes |

I keep telling some sycophantic folks here like Passingshot, contactmorak, ujoatu, abagworo, berem etc who prefer partisanship to patriotism that scammers like Rochas of Imo state, Aregbesola of Osun state, Suswam of Benue state etc has no business in governance...compared to states like Anambra who get less in allocation but have more development projects and are even increasing salaries in the face of falling oil prices with prompt payment...Rochas is big scam... These folks invent excuses when they were elected to provide solutions...They circulate propaganda where common sense should hold supreme...They shift their responsibilities to Jonathan whereas they are custodian of their state resources...While they owe workers they don't owe themselves and their aides... 14 Likes 6 Shares |
