OWERRI—Angry reactions have started trailing the planned borrowing of a staggering N20 billion by Governor Rochas Okorocha, to allegedly complete on-going projects in the state.

Some of the respondents were particularly irked that the state is currently owing over N60 billion ,including the Federal Government’s N26 billion bailout fund, which is expected to be paid back in 20 years.

“It is sad that most people have sadly geared their minds only towards the bailout funds released by the Federal Government. Nobody recollects that apart from the bailout fund, the monthly federal allocations still flow into the state without getting a mention”, a senior civil servant, who pleaded anonymity, said.

A pensioner, Chief Samuel Ohiri, lamented that pensioners and members of their families have continued to languish in poverty, hunger and disease, despite the bailout fund.

“Our pensions and gratuities have remained largely ignored by the present administration despite the bailout fund. The state government sadly does not take the plight of pensioners with the seriousness that it deserves”, Chief Ohiri lamented.

While wondering why the governor should start sourcing for another N20 billion, the aggrieved pensioner reasoned that it would been more sensible to first, account for the bailout fund.

Owell, pls don't try f**king with the devil ohh.

I weep for my state......Rochas na G boy no Laptop

Buhari was right when he said; "monkeys and baboons will be soaked in blood" because we don't reason like humans. What do you think DESPOTISM is all about - when a president is not following the"map of governance"; when he doesn't care what the constitution says; when he is doing the work of the ministers; when he is commanding the killing of unarmed innocent civilians etc. I'm looking forward to a time when once-a- military will not be allowed to contest for any elections in Africa.

Don't be daft
This is a topic about Rochas Okorocha, a Governor who is empowered to run the State Government according to the Nigerian constitution. What does this have to do with Buhari? Was it a Buhari issue when Gov Nyesom Wike borrowed the same 20bn to carry out 'major projects'?

If you're drunkenly looking for someone to blame at random, why not Arsene Wenger or Pasuma Wonder?

Imo state is now in shambles

Apc killing states since 1922

Rochas the worst governor imo state has ever produced. I wish all Nigerians will come to imo state to use their eyes and see how all the fake roads built got spoiled with the space of 2 years. Imo have no roads now. He built mansions for himself and bought private jets and lots of billions of dollars in his foreign accts while imo state is totally down. No more pipe born water in the state for over 3 years. without borehole in your house, you will not have access to water even in the state capital. I really pity for imo state. God should answer our prayers

Imo legislooters are angry too:
