The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has chided the Igbo leaders for not living up to his expectations in attracting democratic dividends to the zone.
Okorocha’s reaction followed complaints by stakeholders in Ebonyi that they were being schemed out of Federal Government’s employment and empowerment programmes.
The governor said it was shocking and unbearable that Igbo leaders in prominent positions at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national level could not attract democratic dividends to the party in the state and region.
Okorocha, who came on a familiarization visit to Ebonyi, admonished the party members not to blame President Muhammadu Buhari for sidelining the party in the state.
Represented by the Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Ugonna Ozurigbo, the governor noted that the appointment of leaders from the state into ministerial and other positions in the federal government was to attract government’s presence to the party in the state.
He assured that all the issues raised at the forum would be addressed as soon as possible.
