Group Wants Okorocha to Apologise, Recall Sacked Imo workers Within 14 Days

The South-East Zone of the Campaign for Democracy (CD), on Sunday gave Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, a 14- day ultimatum to recall over 3,000 state workers sacked recently as well as apologise to them.Making this know, the zonal Chairman of the group, Mr Uzor Uzor, insisted that the sacking the workers without just cause or explanation was uncivilised and undemocratic.He maintained that if Governor Okorocha fails to upturn the sack, the group would have no choice than to mobilise to lock down the state.Uzor said, “We have given Gov. Okorocha as a mark of respect, 14 days to apologise to Imo workers for this embarrassment.“Gov. Okorocha rode on the mantra of rescuing Imo and creating jobs for teeming unemployed youths, but we are highly surprised that he would turn against the job creation.“A governor who is supposed to have compassion for the people under him is now insensitive to their plight.”
