BREAKING I "Okorocha Didn't Handover To Ihedioha" ---- Duru

The Principal Secretary to Chief Rochas Okorocha, the immediate past Governor of Imo State, Mr. Emeka Duru had publicly disclosed that the earstwhile governor never handed over to the current government led by Chief Emeka Ihedioha.



According to our correspondent, Mr. Duru unequivocally stated this during the swearing-in ceremony conducted for the newly appointed aides of the new Executive Governor at the Sam Mbakwe Expanded ExCo Chamber, Government House, Owerri on Monday, 3rd June 2019.

It would however be recalled that the Okorocha claimed that he was leaving a total sum 42.5 billion naira in the government coffers as his take-off funds and equally informed Imolites that a formal handover had been conducted, before he left the office as the number one citizen of the State.

Governor Ihedioha had, therefore, directed the Head of Service of the State, Mrs. Ama Eluwa and the said Principal Secretary to ensure proper handover of documents and government properties from all outgoing/outgone heads of government Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) as well as all aides of the former governor within 24 hours of the directive.
