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.”
