Anglican Bishop of Owerri, Bishop Cyril C. Okorocha rejected Governor Rochas Okorocha donation of N200,000 to the church at the diocesan synod of the Anglican Communion which held at St John\u2019s Anglican Church, New Owerri.<\/p>\n
Bishop Cyril Okorocha went on to lambast Governor Okorocha for inflicting sufferings on the people of Imo State through non-payment of their salaries and his \u201cinhuman policies\u201d.<\/p>\n
Governor Okorocha, who was represented at the Synod by one Obinna Aharanwa gave a donation of N200,000 Naira to support the church\u2019s development but the Bishop rejected the Governor\u2019s donation on the ground that he would not want the church to share in the blame for the non-payment of salaries and other financial troubles facing the State.<\/p>\n
The Bishop said: \u201cPlease 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\u2019s salary. Go and pay pensioners and workers. I won\u2019t touch this money.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want Governor Rochas Okorocha to publish his stewardship and show us what he is doing with lmo money. We need explanations\u201d, Bishop Okorocha concluded.<\/p>\n
Embarrassed, the governor\u2019s representative, Mr Obinna, stormed out of the venue enraged by the Bishop\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
