 <\/p>\n

The Anglican Archbishop, Enugu ecclesiastical province, Most. Rev. Dr Emmanuel Chukwuma has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently call Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha to order.<\/p>\n

Chukwuma, at a media briefing in Enugu on Wednesday, according to online report,\u00a0also asked Okorocha\u2019s party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to look into the governor\u2019s leadership style and redirect his steps.<\/p>\n

The Church leader stated that it was saddening that while several Imo workers and pensioners were groaning over unpaid salaries and pension, Okorocha was busy wasting millions of naira on moulding statues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to say that the condition of civil servants in Imo State and that of the pensioners is very pathetic. And to make matters worse, Governor Okorocha instead of doing the needful is busy moulding statues with taxpayers\u2019 money and partying here and there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m urging President Buhari and his party, the APC to call him to order. To make matters worse he even said the other day he has established ministry of happiness. He is making caricature of governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, President Buhari should not keep silent over this; he should tell Okorocha to stop moulding statues. He should use that money to pay workers and pensioners.\u201d<\/p>\n

While equally calling on other governors to prioritize salaries and pensioners in their utilization of the Paris Club Fund refund, Archbishop Chukwuma urged politicians to show maturity as the 2019 general election approached.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are right now in the season of Christmas and it is very sad that some workers have not been paid. It is not right at all, and for that reason I\u2019m appealing to the conscience of the governors to make issues of salary and pensions a priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery soon, as we enter into 2018, a lot of politicking will start; so, I advise that politicians should display a sense of maturity; this should not be a time for meaningless cross-carpeting from one party to the other to achieve selfish aim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should stabilize the political process; where there is zoning it should respected. I believe that in so doing, soonest the presidency will also be zoned to the South-East because they have been marginalized for so long.<\/p>\n

On the 2018 budget, he backed the decision of the National Assembly to meticulously scrutinize every details, stressing \u201cwe cannot be talking of 2018 budget when we don\u2019t know what happened to the 2017 budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I\u2019m behind the Senate on its decision to scrutinize every detail of the budget. It should not be rushed; they should do a thorough job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chukwuma, who was recently appointed the Proprietor, Paul\u2019s University, Awka, disclosed of his plans to introduce sweeping changes that would lead to total reform of the institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
