Okorocha<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has admitted being used by fellow governors to test-run the failed sack policy which he started in the state in January.<br/> <br/> He said the act was to the detriment of his political future.<br/> <br/> The governor had in January 2016 announced the suspension of about 7000 civil servants from 19 parastatals, departments and agencies who are yet to reach their retirement age.<br/> <br/> Okorocha also announced the sack of the workers of the primary health care across the 27 council areas of the state as well as secretly sacking junior civil servants.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The development led to the Organized Labour shutting down the state Wednesday and thereby forcing the state governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha to rescind his decision to sack the workers.<br/> <br/> Speaking before conceding to the Labour demands, Okorocha, who was in the company of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr. John Oyegun, confessed that he was used by his colleagues to implement the sack policy.<br/> <br/> According to him, “Sentiments apart, I can’t continue on sentiments because I’m not alone in this crisis. State governors are crying (about the heavy wage bill), waiting for whom to send and here I am to bell the cat at the expense of my political career.”<br/> <br/> <br/> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo9ln5ZgGgAPmjOIZfhfkPyU7TnPcnXLZSBT-EYAEfAywWhk3lQJQJHuaoFFRxHSIgJxgYhIVo8vRzxtj4T6l5Bdf3oyeXib9ZuJVGTVoL9zOfzG2hMEjYAN3fIy5RrbYYCCrf5QnwJu1Q/s2560/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo9ln5ZgGgAPmjOIZfhfkPyU7TnPcnXLZSBT-EYAEfAywWhk3lQJQJHuaoFFRxHSIgJxgYhIVo8vRzxtj4T6l5Bdf3oyeXib9ZuJVGTVoL9zOfzG2hMEjYAN3fIy5RrbYYCCrf5QnwJu1Q/s640/%25255BUNSET%25255D.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"/></a><br/> <br/> He said the government had to yield to workers’ demand to restore industrial peace in the state.<br/> <br/> Part of the government/labour agreement stated that government would source for funds to pay workers which would be verified by the joint committee of government and labour.<br/> <br/> According to the agreement, government would fund its operations with not more than 30 per cent of the verified revenue for the month.<br/> <br/> The committee would apply the balance of 70 per cent in the settlement of salaries of public servants and pensioners.<br/> <br/> economic and social activities had come to a halt in Owerri following a mass protest organised by the NLC.<br/> <br/> <br/> The organised labour had shut down the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, some banks, all ministries and offices including the LGAs and the state Secretariat as workers trooped out for the protest.<br/> <br/> The protesters were led by the National President of NLC, Ayuba Wabba and other national leaders including the state chairmen from South/East, South/South and North.<br/> <br/> They matched from the secretariat of the Nigeria Medical Association on Port Harcourt road, toward Imo Government House, where they blocked all major entrances.<br/> <br/> Wabba had demanded for immediate recall of all sacked workers and stopping further sack of workers in the state without following laid down procedures.<br/> <br/> Meanwhile, the National Chairman of APC, Chief John Oyegun has appealed to Gov. Rochas Okorocha to adopt the spirit of flexibility in handling issues concerning workers.<br/> <br/> Oyegun, who flew to Owerri to pay solidarity visit to Governor Okorocha over the issue, said that workers and government needed to cooperate with each other to get the state out of the present situation.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> “If a child is crying continuously and refuses to stop despite everything done to pacify him, something needed to be done”, he said.<br/> <br/> Oyegun also appealed to workers in the state to face the fact and have a round table with government on possible solutions that would continue to unite them.<br/> <br/> He said the party leadership was concerned about the welfare of the people of the state.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <b>May30.org</b></div>

Paul Boro (rtd) of wasting N48bn of national money since he resumed office in July 2015.<br/> <br/> Source reports that the Senate committee on the Niger Delta claimed that Boro has spent N157.2 million on armoured cars.<br/> <br/> <br/> The lawmakers, who asked not to be named, were especially anxious over the huge sums of money supposed to have been expended on the training of ex-militants between November and December last year.<br/> <br/> The senator, who is a member of the Senate committee on Niger Delta, said: “The president claims to be fighting corruption while his aides are already swimming in corruption. Can you imagine a special adviser using a bullet proof Lexus car worth N55 million as an official car at a time the president is trying to stop us from buying our own official cars worth about N5 million each? So what happened to the monetisation policy of the federal government?”<br/> <br/> The senator was especially angered that at a time the president had criticized the lawmakers for their proposal to buy official cars for senators and members of the House of Representatives, the Amnesty Office coordinator, who is just an appointee of Buhari, had since acquired as his official car an armoured Lexus LX 570 Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) with communications equipment for VIP movement.<br/> <br/> <br/> They defined most of the contracts awarded by Boro as “mostly nebulous or frivolous.”<br/> <br/> Another senator, who did not want to be named, added: “We expected him to restructure the budget he inherited from his predecessor at the Amnesty Office to fit into current economic realities and in line with the anti-corruption crusade of President Buhari. Unfortunately Boro is just spending recklessly.”<br/> <br/> Buhari, during his first presidential media chat, wondered that the National Assembly planned to buy cars worth over N47bn, in addition to taking car loans and generous transport allowances.</div>
