We Are NOT Managing Our Victory Over PDP Very Well - Rochas

             

                 The Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors Forum and Governor
of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has
expressed serious reservations that his party "is
not managing it's victory very well".
Governor Okorocha made his feelings known
while fielding questions from news yesterday in
Owerri.
"Make no mistake about it, All Progressives
Congress is a good party, by all standards but
my regret is that we are not managing our
victory very well", Okorocha lamented.
When asked to assess President Muhammadu
Buhari's one year in office, the APC Governors
boss said he had no doubt that the man would
succeed.
"I have no doubt in my mind that the old man
(Buhari) will succeed. All I pleaded with Buhari
to capture in the current fiscal year, are in the
budget. I want to assure Ndigbo that all that are
due to us will definitely get to us", Governr
Okorocha said.
Answering a question on the raging labour war
against the new pump price of premium motor
spirit, the Governor said he was in full support of
the deregulation of the oil sector of the nation's
economy.
"I support the deregulation of the oil sector of
the nation's economy. I also believe in
concessioning government parastatals and
agencies. Nothing established by government has
ever worked in Nigeria. The Nigeria Airways,
NITEL, Nigerian National Shipping Line and all,
never worked", Okorocha said.
While using the opportunity to lampoon the
People's Democratic Party, PDP, and it's
leadership at the national and state levels, the
Governor however revealed that he has not seen
an reliable person in the PDP to work with.
When reminded that Imo workers are owed
salaries since February this year, the Governor
said he was very comfortable with the 70:30
ratio agreement with labour, even as he warned
that anytime workers refuse their salaries, he
would use it to carry out projects.
"Both pension and internally generated revenue,
IGR, are serious problems for me. Only recently, I
ordered all the Board of Internal Revenue
officers to go on leave but they have written to
say it was unconstitutional to ask all officers to
go on leave", the Governor said.
