Pensioners in Imo State, yesterday, protested the continued refusal by Governor Rochas Okorocha to pay them their pensions which ranged between 22 and 77 months in arrears. The agitators blocked the road leading to the state government house in order to make their request known to the governor.
In the course of the protest, some pensioners gathered and poured libation to "invoke the Spirit of their Ancestors" at Okigwe Roundabout over non payment of their Pension arrears.
The latest development, which they described as ”wicked of Okorocha’s government is the plan to pay 40 percent of the accumulated arrears and gratuities and forfeit of 60 percent.

There is something known as 'check and balance' in government. Imo State governor should be checked by Imo State House of assembly. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BUHARI.

Can't they impeach him? Enough is enough. Also, when situation reaches this level, it is declared a state of emergency, then the Federal Govt intervenes or bails out the state; what has Buhari done about this crisis? Is that state still part of the country her governs? President of a country does not sit on the fence when there is crisis, please somebody tell Buhari.
