Governor Uzodimma assumed office on 14 January 2020, following a judgment of the Supreme Court which affirmed his victory at the 2019 governorship election.
The Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress in Imo have disagreed over Governor Hope Uzodimma’s scorecard within three years in office.
He alleged that Mr Uzodimma had, in the past three years, worked so hard to ensure that all the institutions of democracy in the state are dismantled and a full-blown dictatorship firmly established. “Yet, the only channel through which governance can be delivered to the people has been completely run aground,” he contended.
He argued that Mr Uzodimma had made incessant borrowings a state policy which had plunged the state into irredeemable debt slavery. “What Senator Uzodinma really needs to explain to Imo people is how he diverted a whopping sum of N56 billion on the pretence of constructing the 36-kilometre Owerri-Orlu road.
Mr Opurozor estimated that the 2023 budget revenue of the state would be sourced from FAAC, 13 per cent derivation, internally generated revenue, and intervention grants would amount to N120.6 billion. He claimed that the party had intercepted credible intelligence about the planned role which the Uzodinma-backed Ebubeagu Militia would play in this process of derailing democracy in the state.
