The Mayors of the satellite towns created by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State are now in pains.
Our reporter who visited Imo Government House yesterday revealed that a woman mayor of one of the newly created cities (name withheld) out of anger exposed the ugly side of the rescue mission group led by his Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.
The woman who said she is a widow told newsmen that Imo State government has made her poorer.
According to her, all her labour since she became a mayor have not been paid for, adding that salaries of the city mayors have been withheld for a long time now and this according to her have thrown her into poverty.
She further told some commissioners that she will not continue to work like giant and earn like a dwarf, adding that the present administration in the state have turned to a centre of deceit where only those close to the Governor are given the privileged to enjoy while others no matter how good they are continue to live in abject poverty.
Speaking in a public function held recently, the Governor said he had dolled out enough funds to pay all the workers and appointees of the state.
Meanwhile Mass defection is about rocking the Imo All Progressive Congress (APCas surrogates of the government with sympathy to the party among the Government Liaison Officers (GLOs) under the aegis of Community Government Council, CGC established by the Imo Rescue Mission of Governor Rochas Okorocha are threatening to quit the party enmass.
The grouse of the GLOs for threatening mass defection is that for over 2 years after their official inauguration of the structure, they only received N50,000 respectively, once as the GLOs, stressing that ever since then some of the embattled CGC GLO’s who spoke to Trumpeta on condition of anonymity express shock and dissatisfaction how they would be abandoned and disregarded after putting much for the growth of CGC.
It was further gathered that some who took sponsorship of their respective CGCs on the premises that they will be reimbursed are disappointed that their spent money has become a bad debt.
Narrating their ordeals, one of the GLOs in his late 40s explained that he based in Abuja before the inauguration of the CGC officials but came down to the East to reside after appointment as the GLO of his community, “with the and love I for the “then performing Governor, anticipated that a positive story will come from the position he was elevated. Regrettably, he opted that his actions for leaving the city to rural area is a big regret to his person as he has lost his Abuja business to CGC. And Government failed to appreciate.
