Imo council of elders has said it is derogatory for members of
the opposition to address, Hope Uzodinma as Supreme Court
Governor.
This is just as the elders maintained that using such an
unflattering appellation on the governor is an insult to Imo
people, which connotes that the people never voted for him.
The elders also said they are in support of the probe of alleged
missing N19.63 billion local government funds under the former
governor Emeka Ihedioha’s administration, by the House of
Assembly.
The council Chairman, Edmond Onyebuchi, who stated this,
yesterday, during a press conference, said the elders of the state
will, henceforth, tackle any individual/group who continues to
address Uzodimma as Supreme Court governor.
“We will not take it lightly, because those who are doing this
are insulting the people of Imo who voted massively for Uzodimma as
governor of the state.
“We are also in support of the ongoing probe of N19.63 billion
council funds because the money belongs to the people and if
Ihedioha is found to have carried away our money he must bring it
back. The money belongs to the people,” he said.
