FACTS have emerged that Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha was unaware that Fan Ndubuoke had been relieved of his position as General Manager of Heartland FC over a year after.
This much was revealed by Imo State Deputy Speaker Hon. Ugonna Ozuruigbo, who is the Chairman of a Task Force Committee for Sports Facilities in the state.
“The governor had summoned a meeting involving my committee, the former sports commissioner, Ken Emelu and Heartland GM. When he (Okorocha) asked after Heartland GM, Emelu pointed at Okey Ibe. The governor shook his head and said ‘no, I’m talking about the Mbaise man that was winning those trophies (Ndubuoke).’ The fact is that over a year after, the governor was not aware that Fan was no longer the Heartland GM.
Ozuruigbo exonerated the state government from the ‘ill treatment’ meted out to Ndubuoke.
“Here was a man who had an accident while working for the club. He was still bed-ridden and the next thing was to sack him after all he had achieved at the club. My governor will never be involved in such a thing. He wouldn’t have approved of it if it was brought to his knowledge. Emelu and Ibe have to explain to Imolites how they did what they did”, he pointed out.
