– Urges Gov To Lead By Example
The African Democratic Congress ADC, has expressed reservation about the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodima’s directive that the 27 Local Government Area Chairman and the 305 Councillors in the state should reside in their respective villages or resign from their positions.
The party in release signed by the South East Chairman,Comrade Chilos Godsent described the directive which the Governor gave after a stakeholders meeting of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and traditional rulers at the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers headquarters in Owerri recently as tyrannical and undemocratic.
The ADC, noted that if Uzodinma truly means what he said, he should first of all refrain from his frequent, fruitless and unnecessary travels that gulp enormous chunks of the state’s resources.
They urged the governor to relocate from Abuja to Imo state where he was elected to govern and ensure the security of lives and property that have been completely elusive since he assumed office.
The statement reads, “The African Democratic Congress (ADC) hereby wishes to advise the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, to live by example by first relocating to his village or Owerri, from where he should be attending to official duties as the Executive Governor of Imo State.
“ADC holds that it’s hypocritical for Uzodimma to issue such tyrannical, martial directive to the 27 Council Chairmen and 305 Councillors while he resides mainly in Abuja, flies private jets at the expense of Imo state taxpayers fund.”
