Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has said that his relationship with Chika Odionyemma is based on their common Imo nativity, Igbere TV reports.

Mr Odionyemma is one of the 77 Nigerians indicted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in fraud-related offences.

Recall that a picture of Ihedioha and Odionyemma together began spreading on social media over the weekend after the release of the fraud list by the FBI last Thursday.

Igbere TV reports that Odionyemma was a member of Ihedioha’s inauguration planning and handover committee.

The governor, in a statement on Monday by his new media aide, Izuchukwu Akwarandu, said he attended some of Odionyemma’s public outreaches because they were based on causes that were also dear to his own heart.

He said Odionyemma had not been previously known to have a case of criminal involvement anywhere in the world.

“It is important to note that, as of the time the governor appointed him into the inauguration committee, there was no fraud case hanging around his (Odionyemma) neck anywhere in the world,” the statement said.

“The time the governor attended the programmes he organised, there was no fraud case hanging around his neck anywhere in the world too.

“He is an Imo son and it was in that capacity that the governor attended his programmes. Nothing else.

“Those who say that he sponsored the governor’s election are just being mischievous. Governorship election is a big project. It is not something you say somebody sponsored. Nobody sponsored the governor’s election.

“The fraud case is personal. It has nothing to do with the governor.”

Before nko...who go gree say him dey eat and dine with a criminal especially when he dey police net...mbanu..na denial denial all the way bro...

What is the different between America fraudsters and Nigeria fraudsters? Definitely there's a meeting point.

Success has many friends. The moment the table turns people will start saying negative things about u. That's why man needs to live a modest life. Put the fear of God in whatever u want to do in life. With focus and diligence, u will surely get there.

From there he would have contested.

Truth is, we've got scammers in almost all levels of government.
It's a pity

Izuchukwu AKWARANDU this name nwere weight

Inside life

Good. May God continue to expose them...

You are not saying the truth, can you swear that he did not support you in the last election, people will later tell him what you are saying, please say the truth now and shame your ego.

lol

Not really an attempt to deny. There's this guy, Engr. Ndubuisi Emenike(Ototonwa), he contested for Okigwe Senatorial zone under AA, he started fraternising with Rochas and even Rochas had to campaign for him then. This guy was one of the earliest Yahoo boys in our hood then, his father is a lecturer in ABSU. He made money, went legal(i don't know if he's still into the yahoo and using the Foundation and politics as a screen) , started a foundation and then entered politics. That's the modus operandi of these guys and the one Ihedioha talked about would have taken the same route like this Ototonwa if FBI hadn't cast them.
