By Onwuasoanya Fcc Jones

The Bishop of Owerri Diocese of the Anglican Communion, Very Reverend, Cyril Okorocha has lambasted Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State for inflicting sufferings on the people of Imo State through his inhuman policies and programs.

The outspoken clergy said this during the 1st Session of the 20th Synod of the Anglican Communion, which held at St John’s Anglican Church, New Owerri. The Governor who was represented at the Synod by one Obinna Aharanwa gave a donation of 200,000 Naira to support the church’s development was lambasted by the visibly angry clergy, who wondered why the Governor should be owing civil servants, pensioners and other contractors in the State, while pursuing anti-people policies like the concession of public parastatals and agencies.

The Bishop rejected the Governor’s donation on the grounds that he would not want the church to share in the blame for the non-payment of salaries and other financial troubles confronting the State. Hear the words of the Bishop:
” Please take your money and return it to the government. If l take this money, lmo people will say that l have collected their pension money and worker’s salary. Go and pay pensioners and workers. I won’t touch this money. We want Governor Rochas Okorocha to publish his stewardship and show us what he is doing with lmo money. We need explanations.”
