The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has appealed to members of the Imo Elders Council to wade into the matters affecting the progress and development of the state, particularly, on insecurity.
Welcoming the elders led by their Chairman, HRH Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, the governor expressed happiness seeing them again this New Year and assured them of his continued readiness to cooperate with them always. He therefore reminded them that it is their responsibility to intervene, “because time is running out and this administration is exhausting her patience.”
He however bemoaned the situation where none of the seven oil companies operating in Imo State pays taxes to the state government. “Regrettably, taxation is only shouldered by the common populace,” he said, adding that having met with them severally without positive response he may be pushed to the wall to apply force to recover what belongs to Imo people, in terms of tax payment.
