IMO AIRLINE: GOVERNOR OKOROCHA ACQUIRED THE AIRCRAFT FOR HIS 2019 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AMIDST HUNGER IMO STATE.

The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party, Imo State has been drawn to reports in the media on the purported procurement and inauguration of "Imo Airline", by Governor Rochas Okorocha at the Sam Mbakwe International Airport, Owerri.

This is another fraud as preliminarily exposed by saharareporters.com, which will not in any manner, address the dwindling fortunes of the good people of Imo State but rather serve the bogus 2019 presidential ambition of Governor Okorocha.

Imolites are not only in rude shock on the ill conceived "inauguration of the airline" but also alarmed at the blatant lies by Governor Okorocha that, "Imo was not affected by the much-talked about recession in the country because some people might wonder why the state should dabble into airline business in time of recession because the state has cleared arrears of pension and has paid salaries up to December 2016."

The above statement is not only careless but a broad day murder of decorum, integrity and respect for the Office of the Governor.

Nigerians are aware that Governor Okorocha has sacked over 10, 000 civil servants as a result of economic recession. As at today, pensioners and civil servants in Imo State are owed 77 months and several months of salary arrears. There is high level of unemployment among youths and total collapse of infrastructure while there's no functional education or health system in all the 27 local government of the state. 

Verifiable records show that Governor Okorocha has received on behalf of Imo State, over N150 Billion between January to December 2016 in Internally Generated Revenue,  federal allocation, ecological funds, 13% derivation, local government allocation, bailout funds and recently the Paris Club Debt Cancellation deductions, yet there is no trace of these funds in any sector of the state.

We had expected the governor to be bold enough to tell Nigerians that the aeroplane was procured as part of the logistics for his 2019 presidential campaign. More worrisome is the haste at flagging off his presidential campaign at a time President Buhari is on a medical vacation rather than join well meaning Nigerians to pray for the speedy recovery and return of Mr. President.

We call on President Buhari to immediately order the grounding and disposal of the aeroplane and return the proceeds to the empty coffers of Imo State to alleviate the biting hardship of Imolites.

Quite useless

They don't have us the masses in mind, just power and more power and how to remain in power.

Imo state acquires aircraft in the midst of poverty, joblessness? Wonder shall never end...

pheww

Smh

Imo state has never been productive, IMO. Apart from tertiary schools, this down won't be boozing at all, things are so expensive here, the price of foodstuffs would chase you out of the market, the only business one can make gain from is opening a hotel.

Its just annoying.

Is the aircraft for pleasure? Sometimes its really difficult fathoming the reasoning behind some kind of pointless criticism.
