Owerri – Tensions Thursday continued to gather regarding the battle between the outgoing governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha and the governor-elect, Emeka Ihedioha, on who should have upper hand in the control of the state funds.This is as the Imo state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, led by Charles Ezekwem, in Owerri raised an allegation that Okorocha had engaged in continued withdrawal of state funds to the tune of over N17 billion, from about four different banks.
Recalled that, trouble had started when the governor-elect, Ihedioha at his maiden press briefing in Owerri, warned that banks dealing Okorocha, would be doing that at their own risk, he also asked members of the public to be wary of doing any government related business with Okorocha. “Once again, we warn financial institutions against collaborating with governor Okorocha to continue the looting of our collective common wealth as they shall be held responsible.”
“We are also not surprise at his issuing the directive because as a PDP man, his interest, first and foremost, will be the treasury of the State, and the “policy” or the slogan of“share the money” will soon come back, but he should exercise patience and wait till he is sworn-in. He shouldn’t be in a hurry.
