Kinsmen of the former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, have taken a swipe at the style and manner adopted by the Imo state House of Assembly
Ihedioha’s kinsmen who spoke under the aegis of the Coalition of Owerri Zone Social Cultural Organization, insisted that the rule of law and due process must be applied in the entire process for sanity and justice to prevail.
Rising from an extra-ordinary emergency meeting held weekend at the “Ime Obi Olu Owerri” where it reviewed current issues in Owerri Zone and the state in general, the coalition in a 3-page communiqué made available to newsmen urged the state house of assembly and all those concerned with the probe to do the needful.
It noted that Ihedioha was governor for only 7 months – May 29, 2019 – January 14, 2020 during which the local government areas got a little above N3 billion with which they paid salaries and pensions, paid part of the cost of purchasing road rehabilitation equipment which had been delivered to Governor Uzodinma, in addition to building magnificent office complexes among other projects.“We know Hon. Ihedioha very well as our son in whom we are well pleased.
Insisting that the current governorship tenure being used to blackmail and intimidate their son, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha is their legitimate right, having supported Orlu and Okigwe zones in the past to govern the state, the coalition enjoined all indigenes of Owerri zone involved in the complicity to have a re-think and retract their steps before it is too late.
