The Biafran Independence Movement has urged Underperforming governors
in the South-East to vacate their offices since they have lost focus
and derailed from their political promises.
This was contained in a statement issued in Umuahia, the Abia State
capital, by the Biafra Zonal Information Director, Anselm Ogbonna.
The group insisted that following the shortcomings recorded by many
politicians in the South-East, they should vacate their offices as they
have disappointed the electorate.
He said, “I really mean my word, they should vacate their political
offices now because they have lost focus. They have fed the citizens
with the dividend of lies instead of dividend of democracy. Workers’
salaries are being paid over the radios and on the pages of newspapers;
not in the offices.
“Pensioners who worked with their blood to uphold the integrity of
Nigeria are neglected; the politicians abandoned their pension payment.
“This has resulted in their death on a daily basis. Youth
empowerments to these leaders of tomorrow are tricycles and motorcycles
on hire purchase. Behind them, they will give out contracts to their
loyalists to hunt the Okada riders and Keke NAPEP operators who would
pay a huge amount of money.
“This makes it difficult for them to be free from the Okada and Keke
NAPEP hire purchases they have collected. In other words, they are
slaves to this contract. They are slaves in order to find their daily
bread.”
