Fire Appointees Who Are Underperforming, Rochas Okorocha Tells Buhari

Rochas Okorocha, Senator representing Imo West, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to fire his appointees who have being underperforming in their various national assignments.

Okorocha said President Buhari should do the needful to save the nation from the insult on the leaders.

The ex-Imo governor made the call in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Abdullahi Sule at the Government House and the family of the late state chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Phillip Tatari Shekwo, who was murdered by gunmen.

His call was, however, in reaction to the spate of killings in the country, especially the murder of 43 rice farmers in Borno.

“President Muhammadu Buhari should fire the people he hired to work for the country because they have failed and are not performing in the national assignments given to them,” said Okorocha.

“He should do the needful to save the nation from the insult on the leaders. The people are angry about the recent events in the country.

“The culprits who killed people in Borno, the people in Nasarawa and other parts of the country should be arrested and prosecuted. The killing of people by gunmen should not happen again. It is an insult on the country.

“President Buhari should hire competent hands to develop the country as many other countries suffered similar fate before they experienced growth and development.”
