Gov. Ihedioha issues deadline to Okorocha’s secretary, HoS on Imo properties

The Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has issued an order to ex-Governor Rochas Okorocha’s appointees, as the battle over handover continues.

He posted the directive on his Twitter account, @EmekaIhedioha, Monday afternoon.

“I have ordered the Principal Secretary to Former Governor Rochas Okorocha and the Head of Imo State Civil Service to prepare a proper hand-over document of all Government Properties before 12am midnight tomorrow 4th June, 2019.”

At the weekend, Ihedioha decried the failure of his predecessor to handover documents containing the financial stance of the state to him.

Ihedioha lamented that he has no documents showing the financial status of the state, hence the difficulty of his administration to hit the ground running.

He said: “We have difficulties operating from Imo Government House now. But I told Imo people that we will start work and give no excuses.

“We will give dividends of democracy irrespective of the status of the state of facilities I inherited from the outgone administration.

“The government that ended was not prepared to handover or ready to receive us. I thank Imo people for receiving us and we shall serve the state with the fear of God.

“All financial institutions that have a relationship with Imo State Government should not honour any withdrawal instruction by cheques, transfers or in any form.”
