I dont support freezing the account. The government and court should approve a bank standing order for installmental payments over a 12month period... Paying one billion Naira instantly will have adverse effect on our dwindling allocation and might affect the already owed salaries of Imo workers..... But what kind of project did they carryout that amounted to over a billion naira? Was such project carried out under Rochas, Udenwa or Ohakim? God Bless Imo State cc Abagworo Ujoatu |
