The Imo State Chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned outgoing Governor, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha against any last-minute and illegal appointments into the state
workforce.
The party also warned against
purported establishment and upgrade of some state institutions, saying that
such did not follow due process.
The incoming ruling party in the
state said it was aware that the appointment letters of some newly-engaged
workers have been backdated.
It said such actions of the
governor would be reversed by the incoming administration of Emeka Ihedioha.
This warning came on the heels of
advertorials published by the Imo State government during the week inviting
qualified persons to apply for the positions of the vice chancellor, registrar
and rector for the Imo State University of Agriculture, Umuagwo and the state
Polytechnic, respectively.
In a statement on Saturday by its
State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Damian Opara, the party said, “Attention of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Imo State Chapter, has been drawn to the recent
pronouncements by the outgoing governor of Imo State, His Excellency Rochas
Okorocha concerning the purported establishments and upgrading of certain
institutions in Imo State, namely: College of Education, Ihitte-Uboma, Imo
State Polytechnic, Ehime Mbano, Imo State University of Agriculture and
Veterinary Medicine, Ngor Okpala/Aboh Mbaise, Imo State University, Faculty of
Engineering Onuimo, Imo State Polytechnic, Orlu Campus (TESAC), Imo State
College of Education Ohaji/Egbema and the purported appointments of heads of
these non-existing institutions at the twilight of his administration and wish
to ask Imo people to disregard such pronouncements that have no basis in law
and have been done without due processes.
“PDP further notes that just less
than two months to the end of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s administration, he has
employed more workers than he had ever done during the eight years he wasted as
the governor of Imo State.
“Worst still, he employs and
back- dates letters of employments given to individuals who hitherto have no
service to render to the state Ministries, Agencies and Parastatals.
“For instance, in one Agency
alone, the MD purportedly employed 300 persons in the guise of doing
surveillance duties and backdated their employment letters.
“The Peoples Democratic Party,
Imo State chapter views the above actions of Governor Okorocha as immoral,
criminal, unwarranted, unlawful and laded with evil intentions.”
The party assured that Okorocha’s
actions would be reversed by Ihedioha.
