It was a mild drama of sort as hundreds of traders of Imo origin sacked and displaced from Umuahia market by the Abia state government last Tuesday expressed their revulsion for the administration of Governor Theodore Orji of Abia state. The Imo state Commissioner for Finance, Deacon Chike Okafor had been on an inspection tour of the new Imo Industrial market otherwise known as Imo Malaysian market, where the over 1000 displaced traders were re-settled and accommodated by the Imo state government. His arrival was met by a jubilant crowd of traders who sang the praises of the Rochas Okorocha administration. However while the Commissioner was addressing the crowd at the general goods section of the market, sounds of siren disrupted the commissioner’s speech and on turning around it was the convoy of Governor Theodore Orji driving past the market which is located at the Obowo section of the boundary between Imo and Abia. The traders simply could not contain their rage as they booed and jeered at the Governor. Catcalls and unprintable invectives rent the air as some of the angry traders had to be restrained from pelting the convoy of the Governor. The Commissioner however recalled that it was around November of 2012 that the traders were sacked from Umuahia market and noted that so much work has gone into the new industrial market. Said he, “If you look back to where we started from and remember that the massive work here today was achieved within a space of 12 months, you will easily appreciate the fact that the Imo state government is responsive and sensitive to your welfare. Though trading has begun in earnest here, you must accept that work is still in progress in this market. We are not ignorant of your needs but I assure you on behalf of the Imo state government that we will provide you good roads, adequate water supply and power to make the environment conducive for trade and commerce.” Okafor noted that the market which now has timber, general goods and spare parts sections is an emerging mega community. He disclosed that the government has concluded arrangements to secure 300 hectares of land to build a housing estate and schools for the resettled traders most of whom still shuttle from Umuahia to Obowo on daily basis. |
