Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha has promised to write to security agencies about any ex official that is still in possession of government properties.
He revealed this at Oguta Local Government Area of the state during his inaugural speech at a retreat for the incoming House of Assembly members.
His words, “I will formally write to the security agencies about the persons who think they can plunder the state resources.
“I said this and I will do it. It is worrisome the kind of things we see in our dear state. I just need to have a hand-over note. Hand over note is very important because I need to also account for the resources of whatever money I expended to the person coming after me.
“We will criminalise anybody who takes the property of the state.”
“We will set up a small technical team to look into the laws of the state, based on the submissions of the Chief Judge of the state, Paschal Nnadi, in this retreat. Laws are made for human beings.
“We will do this with the intention to grow the infrastructure and economic prosperity of our state. The team must find out the laws that must be reviewed for our state.”
On Speakership race, he said, “While you aspire to be the Speaker of the House, you have a lot of work to do because from the executive, we will be firing a lot of bills. So, whoever that will be a House Leader must do a lot of work.
“I also learned that there is a bill set up for a particular person in this state and it is supposed to be a state law. When the 9th Assembly resumes, please rally round and repeal that law. What this means is that we are departing from ad hocism to proper legislation.”
