Has he paid the salaries of workers?

Nice one

this is sharp sharp contract and the vehicles won't be upto five hundred, Nigerians actually prefer our affordable tokunbo taxis in this time of simultaneous recession and high inflation.

How can they be obtained? hire purchase or by installment or by full payment

I don't know why Igbos hate this illustrious son of theirs and praise Azikwe and Ojukwu.

Rochas is simply following their footsteps, Azikwe once allied with the north and was a supporter of one Nigeria.

Ojukwu was a member of NPN, Okorocha is a member of APC, why the hate?

1)None of those you listed stole people's mandate to another party...Rochas ran away with APGA mandate to another party for selfish reasons... Against his promise to grow APGA with Obi then...

2)All those you listed worked for survival of all...Rochas works for his pocket, himself and his family.

3)NONe of those you mentioned looted state Treasury but Rochas has looted Imo blind.

4)Compare Rochas performance to those Southeast governors he worked with during oil price boom...eg Peter Obi, Sullivan Chime etc... he's done NOTHING...not even salaries did he pay.

5) Rochas NEVER attended Southeast governors forum meeting when Peter Obi, or Orji were leaders. But with new election of new governors he rushed out to lead them...who will listen to such clown?

6)Travel to Imo state and see bad governance in action. so what did he do with this allocation? Especially during oil boom? Not even motorable roads anywhere... Hope you saw his refuse dump pix which is less than 5 minutes to government House? ...imagine how hinterland will be if main city is like that...

7)Why did he scam people(Youth Must Work scheme)...?Employed thousands of youths...They worked for years but not even a month salary That's after scrapping 10,000 job of his predecessor.

There's no LGA in Imo state today...Even when they defeated him in court, he refused to obey court injunctions...he rather formed dubious fourth tier government alien to Constitution and common sense...

And many more reasons...tired of typing

IMO GOVT. TO CLEAR PENSIONS
-As Governor Okorocha Commissions 500 Pieces Of Urban Taxi Cabs

Governor Rochas Okorocha has announced that the State Government has concluded plan to pay off all the pension arrears without further delay and explained that the delay in the payment of pensions was as a result of the astonishing rise in what the state was paying as pension.

Governor Okorocha gave the hint while commissioning 500 pieces of urban taxi cabs on Thursday, November 10, 2016 in Owerri explaining that by 2011 when he came in as governor, the state was paying N280 million at the end of each month as pensions but all of a sudden, the amount skyrocketed to N1.4 billion which has made it somewhat difficult for the state to pay considering also the salary burden of the state and what comes in as allocations.

He however remarked that part of the reason for the rise could be that most of the workers who returned from the old East Central State and other places to the state when the state was created in1976 must have retired, vis-a-vis the problems of ghost pensioners and padding, assuring that his government has decided to take the bull by the horn by paying off the pensions.

His words, “the state has no problem with the payment of workers in the state. We have paid salary upto the month of October. Any worker in the state who claims that he or she has not been paid upto October or that he or she is owed salary is a thief. Our only challenge now is the issue of pension. And we have resolved to deal with the issue once and for all. I do not want to owe these senior citizens in my time. We are going to get them paid”.

Commissioning the taxi cabs, Governor Okorocha said the government has embarked on the Imo taxi scheme in the spirit of job creation and urban renewal policies of the administration, and stated that the scheme would offer Imo youths jobs both directly and indirectly.

According to the governor, with the level of development in the state, it would not be good for visitors or tourists to the state to be moving in old cabs, and that with the beautification of Owerri, the State Capital and the urban renewal initiatives of the administration, the government decided to procure the taxi cabs, starting with the 500 pieces available for commissioning.

He said more five hundred pieces will soon be procured, and also recalled that the government had recently commissioned some buses to for Owerri the State capital and environs, all in line with the desire of the government to develop the state.

He asked for the cooperation and understanding of Imo people.

former governor of enugu state and anambra bought cab for their state without putting their picture on the cab.what is wrong with this nigga

Lol. How about Obiano that puts his face on even wrappers? Disturbing us with Willie is working wherever someone looks to?

The purchase of the cabs were not done with Okocha's personal funds therefore there is no basis for stamping his pictures on them

Why is he putting his big head on d body

mrvitalis:
Seriously why used new imported cars. . Each of this cars are over 4 million.... That's over 6 cammry small lights clean toks and that will increase gge number of beneficiaries to 3000...

Nice cabs, but what is that huge ugly dark stain at the rear of the vehicles?

Wait o! its Okorocha's mugshot ! Mr Governor why na?

Must you deface the the cabs just to make a point?

Okorocha is an idiot for not buying from Innoson motors.

Which road would they ply?
Imo stste is a disaster.
Rochas will never go unpunished.

Rochas we know......... My igbo brothers are enemies of them self.

we need to get away from this mentality of using govt money to provide services to the people and then naming it after yourself or putting your picture on it as if the money came from your pocket and you are doing the masses a favour, especially when the project would likely have been inflated and you or someone in your camp got a kickback.

Can Someone explain to me why an ibo governor will buy a Korean car and not patronise his fellow ibo (Inosson) car maker. Afterwards we will bemoan the depreciation of the naira.

Why didn't he patronize Innoson. Or don't they make sedans at Innoson?

And many more reasons...tired of typing

It annoys me extremely when any human being with brain dares compare Okorocha with any Governor in the history of Southeast. None has been committed to governance like Okorocha. I repeat none. Both Sullivan and Peter Obi ruled between 2007 and 2014 when oil was at its peak while Okorocha enjoyed 3 years of 2011 to 2014 before the recession started but that not withstanding he performed way better in his 1st 4 years that people like you compare it with 8 years of others. If you doubt me open a thread let us list their respective projects.

A man who forfeited his security votes and parts of monthly allocation and you accuse him of looting. God will punish you for that lie. He could easily stop the free education and pocket the billions monthly like some other Governors.

to what end, our governors are running out of ideas, Lagos make the other states look like they are wasting the common wealth of the populace
