Why I Can’t Appoint Commissioners Now – Okorocha

Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha has blamed the financial
position of the state for his inability to appoint commissioners in
the state six months after he was sworn in for a second term in
office.

He also maintained that the Igbo will not use the platform of any
separatist group to negotiate their agenda.

The governor who was interacting with the media at the government
house on Monday, stated that the state was broke and could not at the
moment engage extra hands in the form of appointment of Commissioners
as they would also require to be serviced.

According to him, "We will not be able to appoint commissioners for
the state now because there is no money as we want to cut cost. When
we appoint commissioners, they would require Prado Jeeps, travel
allowances, and other allowances; and the state is not ready to do
that now. It is better to do with the committees which we had
appointed to take care of those things."
