The Imo state governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has given the immediate past
Governor of Imo, Rochas Okorocha up to midnight of Tuesday June 4, 2019
to do a proper handover to his government.
Ihedioha spoke at the Government House in Owerri, during the swearing
into office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Uche
Onyeaguocha and Chief of Staff, Chris Okewulonu.
The governor afterwards ordered the Permanent Secretary, and Head of
Service, under Okorocha, to quickly prepare all the necessary documents
and hand them over to the SSG, and Chief of Staff, before tomorrow’s
midnight.
The governor also wanted Imo people who desired to have a feel of the
dilapidation in the government house at the moment, to feel free to do
so.
Ihedioha’s warning is coming days after it was reported in Vanguard
that he claimed that it has been very difficult for him as governor to
operate from the current Imo state government House and in addition, he
did not have documents to work on as a governor.
As it is now, Ihedioha is yet to make public where he will be
operating from to administer his official duties as the governor of the
state, for the meantime.
Ihedioha briefly said: “I direct Head of Service and Permanent
Secretary, to ensure a complete handover of all government properties,
the last administration utilised on behalf of Imo people to SSG and
Chief of Staff of Imo state government. I want the process to be
completed by midnight tomorrow.
“I spoke to Imo people that we will start work we will resume work.
We will give no excuses of not performing. We will give dividend of
democracy irrespective of the status of the state of facilities I
inherited.
“The government that ended was not prepared to handover or ready to
receive us. I thank Imo people for receiving us and we shall serve the
state with the fear of God.”
