The Imo state governor-elect, Emeka Ihedioha, has warned financial
institutions to stop new transactions with the state government, or do
so at their own peril.
Ihedioha, who said at a media interaction in Owerri on Thursday, said
new transactions would increase chances of illegal activities and
jeopardise the financial stability of the state, NAN reports.
He said his duty and responsibility would be to ensure that citizens
and residents of the state remained united and work together for the
common good of the state.
The governor-elect commended other contestants in the election for
their “sportsmanship” and urged them to partner his administration to
“restore the dignity of the state”.
Dedicating his success to the “common men”, he commended the people
for buying into his vision of realising a dream state and promised to
work hard to justify their faith in him.
He also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) and security agencies for their roles in ensuring that the
election was credible.
He went on to outline plans to set up a transition committee to
liaise with the outgoing government to ensure a smooth transition and
chart a way forward for the state.
He also promised to work out programmes, which would engage the youth
as a way to end drug abuse and curb vices, starting with the
rehabilitation of the four technical colleges in the state.
