Underperforming governors in the South-East have been urged to vacate their offices by the Biafran Independence Movement.
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.”
