Governor Hope Uzodimma has expressed dismay over the reluctancy of some of his former political appointees in returning the official vehicles assigned to them while in office.
To that effect, he has directed the Managing Director of Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ISOPADEC), Hon Chief Charles Orie, to take custody of the vehicles and ensure that all the ex -appointees surrenders them.
The governor further mandated Orie to ensure that every one of the appointees, no matter how highly placed they were or are, returns his or her own official vehicle, as compliance should be immediate and non negotiable.
This was disclosed on Thursday in a Release signed by Oguwike Nwachuku, the Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to the Governor.
According to the release:
“This directive affects all former Principal officers to the Governor, all former Commissioners, all Special Advisers, all General Managers of Agencies of Government, among others.
“It would be recalled that on January 16, 2024, when Governor Uzodimma dissolved his expanded Executive Council, he had directed that the Commissioners should hand over their official vehicles to the Permanent Secretaries in their ministries while the Special Advisers should submit their official vehicles at the Office of the Chief of Staff.”
National Beam gathered that while some former political appointees complied to the directives, others are yet to do so, raising concerns that they may have ulterior motives.
