2. The Panel is made up of highly reputable personalities and their actions, inactions and report were devoid of political colouring.

4. The panel did a thorough and commendable job and their report have been described as among the best and well investigated report in Nigeria.

5. Governor Uzodinma did not have any hand nor did he influence the outcome of the report of the panel , at least everybody knows the strong characters or personality in the Committee. We know that Justice Iheaka, Comfort Obi etc are not people one can bribe or influence.

So many people including Civil Servants, Contractors and Stakeholders approached the panel with evidence concerning contract awarded.
