Immediate past governor of Imo State , Emeka Ihedioha , on Thursday , said he did not misappropriate the funds of the state while in office between May 29 , 2019, and January 14 , 2020.
Ihedioha , who was sacked by a Supreme Court judgment on Tuesday in Abuja , was reacting to a statement made by his successor , Senator Hope Uzodinma , who ordered a probe of three former governors of the state .
The former governor , who spoke to our correspondent through his media aide, Chibuike Onyeukwu , said he was not tensed by Uzodinma ’s probe order.
According to Ihedioha , his administration was hinged on due process , accountability and transparency.
The ex-governor said he carried the people of the state along within the short period he held sway as a governor .
He said , “ The former governor is not tensed about the probe order. His Excellency hinged his administration on due process , accountability and transparency. There is nothing wrong if the new governor says that he wants to look into the books . We are fine with it.”
