Imo state governor, Emeka Ihedioha is reportedly thinking about reshuffling his cabinet over the problem of non-performance.
A source close to the government, recently told Vanguard in Owerri, that a potential reshuffle of his appointees is in the works and it will help the governor to know those with the required capacity to deliver the rebuild he wants for Imo State.
Rumor has it that Gov Emeka is sad about the present state of Imo roads more especially the roads in the entire Owerri metropolis, now that Christmas is near.
The source said, “Do you think that the governor is happy over what is happening in Owerri, look at since six months in office nothing.”
“You can’t blame the governor, this because Ihedioha, has appointed so many commissioners and special advisers. What we are asking is that what are they doing. Are they sitting down and watching the governor, do everything.
“Go out in the streets and ask the people what they will tell you is that we don’t know what the government is doing. I think that there is problem in the area of letting the people know exactly what our governor is doing.
“To be honest with you, Ihedioha, is doing a lot you may not see it now but later the problem is who are those suppose to do this so that Imolites will appreciate what the governor is doing.
“Six months now and people are still complaining so much. They talk of hunger, bad roads and so many things. The only solution now is to change these appointees or look at the area that is lacking in terms of delivering the rebuild Imo agenda and change that person and that is what I know the governor, is planning to do now.”
Do you think this would be a great move?
