The protest staged by Imo State civil servants, yesterday, went ahead to remind us of the failings of the state Governor Chief Rochas Okorocha. Imo Workers continue to gnash their teeth in hardship due to the financial recklessness and misappropriation of funds by the Governor.
No good can be said about our local governments and their workers either. The fraudulent 25 billion Naira loan deal as revealed by Barr. Kissinger Ikeokwu in his petition to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), which the Governor secured from Zenith Bank PLC towards the end of last year has mortgaged the system. Let it be known that this loan was falsely secured on behalf of the 27 LGAs and the Governor diverted the money into a private account. The state governor has a big question to answer. He surely has something up his sleeves on this one. We call on President Mohammadu Buhari to look into the situation of Imo state. The President must prove to Imo people that his much talked about war against corruption is real. We expect the EFCC to investigate Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha and all those involved in the fraudulent and illegal loan deal and while the anti-graft agency come into the state, let no power frustrate them. Again, we expect the body to be incorruptible in handling this case so as to bring all the culprits to book and rescue Imo state.
IMO IS IN DIRE NEED OF JUSTICE
