Okorocha accuses Buhari of handing over plum jobs to PDP members

Imo state governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has lamented that most plum jobs in President Muhammadu Buhari led administration are being held by members of the opposition People Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor said though the slow pace of President Buhari might be working for him but if he must continue as the president he would have to dissolve the current federal cabinet.

Speaking in a short interview with newsmen during the APC NEC meeting in Abuja, Okorocha, when asked whether he was worried about the alleged 50% PDP members running President Buhari’s government said: “It is not that 50% of PDP running this government alone, PDP members are holding major plum jobs in the country which if it were PDP’s government they won’t have allowed that and they are getting fattened as a result and ready to fight us.

“Remember your political enemy can never love your politically, so we must address issues and make sure that we settle our party men to make sure that APC people hold great positions in boards and others to give them confidence and sense of belonging, that is what we are asking for.

When pressed further to comment on the demand by some APC supporters that the President should dissolve his cabinet so as to accommodate some aggrieved members of the party, Governor Okorocha said: “Well, I heard of it that we need to rejig the entire system to give confidence to people, release the board appointment list, make people happy and get things working but you know Mr. President has his own style, that is not my own style. My style would have been to rejig and move on but his style would be take things easy and slowly and get there which is working for him.”
