Imo
State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has been involved in a heated
public exchange of words with an influential Catholic cleric in the
state.
Gov. Rochas Okorocha
While responding to a recent accusation by the governor of Imo
State, the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, His
Grace, Dr. Anthony J. V. Obinna, has vowed to continue to attack
Governor Rochas Okorocha if he fails to do the right thing.
It was gathered that Gov. Okorocha had openly told the cleric that
he had gone partisan instead of facing his religious duties, and in
response, the cleric said Okorocha should learn how to govern the state
with human face.
The cleric said, “Will it amount to partisan politics if I ask
government to pay workers their earned salaries and allowances? How can I
shut up when pensioners are senselessly dying as a result of
non-payment of their pension and gratuity? If the governor wants me to
stop criticizing and exposing his flaws, he should please do the right
things,” Archbishop Obinna said.
Speaking on the plight of Imo pensioners, the cleric said; “It
is most baffling that the governor wants to pay a paltry 40 percent of
their earned pension and expect all of us to remain quiet in the face of
this glaring injustice to humanity.
“Has the governor spotted me in any political meeting? I am
entitled to cast a single vote in an election. Voting for a candidate of
my choice cannot make me a party faithful,” Archbishop Obinna said.
He further challenged Okorocha to publish any political party
document that bears his name, adding the governor was obviously angry
that he (Obinna) rejected the governor’s appeal to embrace All
Progressives Congress (APC).
“Governor Okorocha once led their APC faithful to Maria
Assumpta Cathedral and appealed to me to join him in his new party. I
told him that he was the one that jumped ship and I preferred remaining
wherever I was,” Obinna said.
