Workers Day: Group Gives Okorocha Ultimatum To Pay Imo Workers by Ofunaofu: 3:02pm On May 01, 2016
Ndigbo Unity Forum, an Igbo socio-cultural
group, has given Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo
an ultimatum of 60 days to pay workers
outstanding salaries and allowances.
This is contained in a statement signed by the
President of the forum, Mr Augustine
Chukwudum, and made available to the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Sunday.
It described as unfortunate that after receiving
bailout funds from the Federal Government,
which the governors and their cabinet agreed
was enough to settle workers, would divert such
money.
The statement said such action was the height
of insensitivity in a democratic setting that holds
a lot of good promises for the people.
``On South East, we observed that the Gov.
Rochas Okorocha of Imo state notwithstanding
bailout funds that runs into billions that he
received from the Federal Government that he
still owes workers in the state many months
salary.
``We demand that Gov. Rochas Okorocha should
pay workers in Imo state their salary within sixty
days,’’ it said.
The statement warned that coalition of civil
societies would soon mobilise for the mother of
all demonstration in Imo, if the governor failed to
heed to the advice.

Ever since the APC won the Presidential election,Okorocha now believes and behaves as if he can do anything and get away with it.
Meanwhile,let's give kudos to the PDP for one thing. They fought corruption even when their members were involved. Dariye,Alams,Orji Kalu,Ibori etc were members of PDP in a PDP govt yet were prosecuted by EFCC. But the Buhari led APC that touts to fight corruption gives 'Certificate of Saintship' once you are in APC. That's why men like Rochas can divert the whole bail out funds to his accounts in south east asia and the rest for the building of his private university in his village and nobody will question him talkless of investigating him
