Hope Uzodinma, Governor of Imo State has come up to say that the level of corruption in Imo State is mind blowing.

Th Governor in a special broadcast to mark his 100 Days in office sited some of the achievement he has made.

The Statement read thus:

My beloved NDIMO, I am indeed glad to address you on this auspicious occasion of the 100 days of my administration. As you will recall, about 100 days ago, precisely on January 15th this year, I was sworn in as the duly elected Governor of our beloved Imo State. This was sequel to the landmark judgement of the Supreme Court the previous day, which restored the mandate the good people of Imo State freely gave me on March 9th 2019, as your duly elected Governor.



However, the circumstances of this historic victory did not avail me the luxury of a transition period, which most governors- elect have the privilege of using as a preparatory phase to actual governance. I assumed office less than 24 hours after my final victory and still hit the ground running.

The situation was not helped by the sorry state of affairs I inherited. There was no handover note from the previous government to mine. This left me with no definite starting point.
In addition, I inherited an empty treasury and a disillusioned, disoriented and dispirited civil service.

It was sad to behold the site of the Imo State Civil Service Secretariat. The roofs of all the buildings housing the civil service structure were leaking. All the blocks were dirty and unkempt. There was no water in the buildings just as there was no light. To describe the entire environment where our civil servants worked as reminiscent of an abandoned scary set of buildings in which no decent person can conduct any meaningful business will be a gross understatement. It was close to a piggery!

Worse still, I inherited a public service sector that was riddled with corruption and fraud. The amount of Imo State money that was siphoned through a public sector corruption riddled payroll system was simply mind blowing. It was, to say the least, incredible.

It was very painful to me that while Imo people groaned under the yoke of scanty infrastructural provisions and lack of efficient public service delivery, few heartless people were regularly siphoning huge sums of money from public coffers. Needless to add that these stolen funds could have been used to provide more infrastructures and services to the people............
I reasoned rightly that I had a choice to make in the face of the daunting situation on ground; 1. To sweep the appalling situation under the carpet and continue to do business as usual, as previous administrations did, and receive accolades for doing little or nothing. Or

2. To summon the courage and do the right thing by flushing out an endemic corruption that threatened the survival of our State, and risk being initially misunderstood.

I made my choice and chose the latter. I did so, because I do know that Leadership...........

We've heard you Mr Saint .

To Imo State people, you're just an ordinary supreme court caretaker governor .

You've got only 4 years to misrule as expected .

Good one Mr Uzodinma!
Start the probe from Ohakim, Okorocha to Ihedioha. However focus more on Rochas. And when your tenure ends, another Governor will probe you too. This way, every one would sit up and work for the common good of the state.

Government should be for the people and not the thieving elites.

This is an indictment of APC as a party in Imo state.

For about eight years, the criminal APC governor was in charge of the state.

Ihedioha took over for few months, now it's back in the hands of another APC rogue.

When we tell them APC simply means association of past criminals, they think it's a joke.

We have heard all this over and over again.
Every regime that takes over says the same thing.

Just do your work and let it speak for you.
