APGA calls on EFCC to investigate Imo LGA allowances for 19 months

By CHARLES IWUOHA

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Imo State has asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to without further delay commence a probe against Governor Hope Uzodinma’s jointly operated 27 Local Governments Account with the Chairmen of the Interim Management Committees (IMCs) for the past 19 months.

The opposition APGA said despite the billion naira State Monthly Allocations of the past 19 months, the present government continues to perform poorly.

“What exactly has Senator Uzodinma done with the 27 Imo LGA Allocations? Who are in charge of Imo LGAs?” the party asked.

“Senator Uzodinma has chosen to govern Imo State from Abuja when he is supposed to be on the ground to observe the goings-on in the state.

“He does not care about the pains and sufferings of Imo citizens. The lives and property of Imolites are unsafe at the moment, as there is no leadership. Hunger and hardship remain the order of the day,” it said.

APGA in a statement on Friday by Comrade Chilagorom Ifeanyi, DG, Imo APGA Media, said since the emergence of the present Imo government, Ndi Imo have not had a breath of fresh air.

“It has been from one ugly and heartbreaking incident to another. It is very unfortunate how Imo State has been sold to our enemies for power. No developmental project; no good road network; no job creation, as Imo has really lost its glory.

“It is very unfortunate how Imo has turned to a state with no leadership. As the number one citizen and Chief Security Officer of the State, Senator Hope Uzodinma is nowhere to be found within Imo State, as Douglas House remains vacant. This, as a matter of fact, shows that Imo people are handicapped at the moment in terms of leadership.

“This is the worst in the history of Imo State, where a Governor leads the people from Abuja and other parts of the country. He whose house is on fire does not chase rats. It is very unfortunate how Senator Uzodinma has preferred politicking for the betterment of Imo citizens. To continue pleasing those who illegally made him Governor, he is now focused on the Anambra election, instead of coming home to properly lead the good people of Imo State.”

APGA warned: “The evil you support today because of what you stand to benefit, is the fertilizer that will nurture your future trouble.”
