Two years and few months now since Governor Rochas Okorocha took over the mantle of leadership in Imo state has witnessed a lot both positively and negatively.
However, whether the administration has done well or not is not the issue at stake, more especially now that we are drawing near to another election year 2015.
If Governor Okorocha does very well, he may earn a collective carry-go for second term but if in the public court he performs poorly, he may as well not merit the much taunted second term.
Apparently, political positions with its postulations are not arithmetic or algebra. Infact it is a common knowledge that where somebody performs well in a class, he gets promotion, and if he performs poorly he repeats the class and when the performance is very poor, he may fail and fail out.
Talking about the need for Governor Okorocha to re-constitute his State Executive Council at this point in time has become very necessary and demanding considering the enormity of work to be done.
Are we talking about the “abandoned” road rehabilitations and constructions in all the nooks and cranies of the state?
What of the construction and equipping of the ongoing twenty seven General hospitals in the Local Governments? We have equally not forgotten the construction of new primary school blocks and school uniforms for the pupils.
There are thousand and one unfinished or abandoned programmes or projects in the state begging for completion. And these can only be realized with people incharge of the various Departments as Commissioners.
No car or ship thrives without a captain or driver except such a voyage is targeted for doom.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary and indeed apt that Governor Okorocha re-constitutes the State Executive Council immediately without further delay so that the people who will be charged with the various departments/ministries can quickly settle down to business with the sole aim of concluding these unconcluded programmes before 2015.
Among the most important of the Departments is the Ministry of Works and its Public Utilities counterpart where a lot is needed to be done now that the rains are over and the ember month around the corner.
