Governor Rochas what's up with stopping car owners and asking them to pay N15,000!
survey plans, who are the industrialists, where are the desirable roads etc”. In the last election, he stated that Imo people brought Rochas Okorocha back to power and it is well for Imo State, stressing that there are no facilities at the industrial layout to suggest that there is a plan in this direction. He stated that it is not a jamboree trip that brings industries, but enabling environment such as power, good roads, public water supply and hygienic environment “Governor's industry! Industry!! Industry!!! is a mere political talk. “Let it be with Imolites, they asked for it, we have been pushed to the wall, complaints mean nothing, it is a family business, No Imo Commissioners, no local Government Chairmen, no council election, no roads”.
The party Chairman remarked that he is very much ashamed that Imo legislators have abandoned their elected office to become servants and errand boys to someone who was elected along side with them. “Where are the checks and balances?” He queried, I challenge Imo people, they know their rights, they should withdraw these dishonourable members forth with”, he fumed. Unfortunately and shameless, he said the lawmakers have abandoned their over sight functions for several executive functions and the reason could be peculiarly, financial inducement, and filthy lucre.
The SDP boss disclosed that traffic lights have been installed but it is abnormal to install traffic lights at round abouts because they are self traffic controlled which give way to traffic on the left but the problem is indiscipline especially in Imo State where the disciplinary ethics, courtesy and patience are lacking, “we should accommodate each other, have patience, courtesy. He further stated that, kekes are most lawless, most indisciplined and most uncourteous with government drivers and so called VIP drivers next to lawless. Secondly and conventionally, the traffic lights work in the system of green, amber (yellow) and red but in the state, it is green to red and vice versa which is catastrophic.
Ogbuefi Amafili maintained that the task forces are menacing the society, “that ought not to be because the people have been given the directives and no sign posts to show One Way, No Entry, No Left/ Right or U-turn stressing that for the taskforces to be harassing people, what of the strangers passing or visiting Owerri. Before you send task forces to harass people, he said, “set up the sign posts”.
He reiterated that Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) is good but it must have to be done in the proper way. “My caution is”, if this task force madness is not well handled, we might spark off an uncontrollable mass or mob action whether of otokoto saga in 1996, of people who feel pushed to the wall, or that they are the down trodden, dehumanized, impoverished and frustrated”, Ogbuefi Amafili warmed.
