Clap for yourself you just wrote absolute thrash. Ihedioha tried but still could not destroy 1/100 of Okorocha's legacies. I thank God the destroyer in chief is gone while Uzodinma has serious work to redeem Imo State at least to the level it was few days before Ihedioha. God bless Okorocha, Araraume and Uzodinma.

SoNature:
I don't know why these PDP guys are still wailing; Imolites who care about the development of the state are already excited about the progress made thus far with Mazi Hope Uzodinma as governor.

Ndi Imo have moved on; it's not like Hope Uzodinma is a Yoruba or Hausa man.

Meanwhile, he just approved 30k minimum wage. Everyone should watch Gov Uzodinma closely as he is under immense pressure to perform.

This administration could potentially replicate what happened in Anambra State under former governor Ngige when he was manipulatively made the governor, compelling him to keep his nose to the grindstone just to impress Ndi Anambra. That era would set a high standard for governance in the state. To date, they are still benefitting from it.

If a similar scenario plays out in Imo State, it means that God has settled Imo State for good. I have a strong feeling that Hope will maintain this momentum throughout his first tenure. And if that happens, Ndi Imo will gladly vote for him in 2023.

Why I like my people is that we are not obsessed with parties like other states in Nigeria, Nah. We vote for the right candidate - irrespective of party affiliations. But somewhere along the line, the governors lose their minds and become power-drunk, which often derails governance.

Bottomline: All eyes should be on Gov. Hope Uzodinma because he is under immense pressure to impress Ndi Imo

You need to free yourself bruv. Nobody buys land on Nairaland. You can make your comments on any topic of discussion.

A Yoruba man created Nairaland. I wonder what would have happened if your kind created Nairaland or Anambraland.

It's only on the land you bought with your money, you can exercise total authority.

Nairaland is every Man's right.. ..and your feelings can't change it... .Betterstill, go and create a website and censor whoever registers.. .To ensure they are from Anambra state.

Please do yourself a favour and keep your mouth shut! People are taking advantage of their freedom of speech and protest! If you and your shameless, thieving thug of a usurping governor don’t like it, then hand back the seat you stole with the help of Buharis’ kangaroo Supreme Court! Simple!

committee set up to investigate the finances of the Imo state government under the Rochas Okorocha administration says it has uncovered N112.8 billion “dubious debts” owed the state by nine commercial banks.

It said the monies owed by the banks were claims from various infractions, including unexplained debits as well as penalties arising from such, in their dealings with the state government.

Some of the questionable debits from the state’s accounts, according to the panel, are:

excess penal claim
excess COT charges
excess interest on authorised overdraft
excess interest collections on loans
wrong debits recovery
double reversals
inappropriate facility fees
excess advisory and processing fees
excess management fees collections on disbursement
net loss on investment of short term facility.
The panel was set up by Emeka Ihedioha, immediate past governor of the state, with the mandate to review all financial transactions of the state during the eight-year administration of Okorocha, now a senator.

In a February 6 letter to Hope Uzodinma, Ihedioha’s successor, the committee said while the banks are to refund the state N74.6 billion as principal amount from alleged infractions and penalties, they are to pay another N38.2 billion as principal sum and penalties.

IMO’S CLAIMS SUMMARY AGAINST NINE BANKS


The letter, signed by Abraham Nwankwo, the committee chairman and former director-general of Debt Management Office, said part of the N38.2 billion arose from various debits from the state accounts without “proper” narrations.

TheCable obtained a copy of the letter.

It read: “Based on the joint report of the consortium of consultants, the nine banks that came under review were to refund the sum of N74,602,631,560.46 to the state as principal amount involved in such infractions and attendant penalties.

“In addition, the sum of N38,221,701,806.96 were to be claimed covering the principal sum and attendant penalties arising from the aggregation of debit entries to the state accounts without proper narrations and for which no explanation was provided to the committee despite repeated demands.”

The committee added that while formal demands for the refunds were issued to the banks on December 3, 2019, a majority of them were yet to respond after the 30-day deadline.

It said it was considering a number of measures to recover the funds, but suspended further action following Ihedioha’s removal from office.

It asked Uzodinma to ensure recovery of the funds as it would be a “grave and historical insult, assault and financial rape of the state if the recovery is not vigorously pursued under whatever excuse”.

Okoroawusa wasted resources building sub standard rubbish everywhere, this rat hole he called tunnel collapsed almost immediately he handed over. But the cursed miserable miscreant called abagworo said that it was Ihedioha that spoilt it.

You mean public water supply system is the Only thing Orlu zone needs.

Yampotatocarrot:


I don't know if it's just me, but reading the comments here have made me ask the same question.

Is there something special about these water project that makes some people only scream water, water?

Does it mean all the roads in Orlu are tarred, schools are of international standard, industries are much there?

I just want to know, abeg

EVERYONE LOVES IMO STATE, IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO OWERRI MY BROTHER N SISTER YOU LOOSING IT.

kikake:


Owerri has become Imo state for some of you. But rest of Imo state outside Owerri are decadent.
Okorocha Rochas made it so.

We stand now to change that "Owerri is Imo State" narrative. Emeka wanted to uphold that narrative. But Karma said no and sacked Emeka

marshman293:
the truncation and confusion in the political heights of imo state is not helping matters. Events like this chases away investors cos they would be scared of putting their money that they may not be sure of getting returns

Imo1stson:
The end of Rochas government seems to have brought the astronomical development of Imo State to a permanent halt. I feel so bad that the rate of development has dropped even with the coming of Uzodimma and the euphoria that greeted it. We all thought that with removal of Ihedioha Imo would return to what it used to be but no much difference. Only Ebonyi is experiencing rapid infrastructural development presently.

Today same old tactics played out with acquisition of vehicles for Police. This is the 3rd in less than 2 years.
