OWERRI – Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has waded into the fracas between the police and members of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB.
Okorochas has equally urged Imo people to go about their normal businesses without fear of molestation as his administration has already discussed the matter with the security chiefs in the state.
The Governor stated this after swearing-in the new Secretary to the Government of Imo State, SGI, Professor Anthony Gozie Anwukah, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Prince Eze Madumere, the Principal Secretary to the Governor, Dr. Obi Paschal Chigozie, and the Senior Special Assistant (Media), Mr. Chinedu Offor.
While saying that Imo had always remained a very peaceful state, the Governor also reiterated his campaign promise of giving free education to all children of school age.
“In line with this policy thrust of my administration, I am donating my entire monthly salary into the education fund. This is my little sacrifice to ensure that all Imo children acquire education”, Okorocha said.
He appealed to all public officers to make some sacrifice towards the crusade of rescuing Imo from its present decay, adding that he would not look kindly on any civil servant that delay files on his table.
Responding on behalf of other appointees, Professor Anwukah promised that they will work tirelessly towards the realization of the present administration’s dream of rescuing Imo from its present state.
