Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has given the immediate past Governor of Imo, Rochas Okorocha up to midnight of Tuesday June 4, 2019 to do a proper handover to his government.

Governor Ihedioha gave the directive at the Government House in Owerri, during the swearing into office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Uche Onyeaguocha and Chief of Staff, Chris Okewulonu.

The directive is coming days after it was reported in Vanguard that Governor Ihedioha stated that it has been very difficult for him as governor to operate from the current Imo State Government House and ithat he did not have documents to work on as a governor.

Ihedioha briefly said: “I direct Head of Service and Permanent Secretary, to ensure a complete handover of all government properties, the last administration utilised on behalf of Imo people to SSG and Chief of Staff of Imo state government. I want the process to be completed by midnight tomorrow.

On the state of the dilapidation at the government house, Governor Ihedioha  invited Imo people to take a tour of the government house to have a feel of the level of dilapidation in the government house.

“I spoke to Imo people that we will start work we will resume work. We will give no excuses of not performing. We will give dividend of democracy irrespective of the status of the state of facilities I inherited.

“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.”
