Senator Hope Uzodinma, of the All Progressives Congress APC, has given four days ultimatum to permanent secretaries and heads of parastatals to submit award of contracts made so far in the state.
He spoke this in Owerri, after he was sworn in as the sixth governor of Imo state, with his running mate, Placid Njoku, by the Chief Judge of Imo state, Paschal Nnadi.
Thousands of Imo people on Wednesday occupied the Heroes square in order to witness the ceremony.
National Chairman APC, Adams Oshiomole, and Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajuba were there at the swearing ceremony of Uzodinma.
The swearing-in happened in such a way that unity played out between the warring factions of Imo APC in the state, as they were seen working tirelessly to ensure that Uzodinma’s swearing-in was a success.
Importantly, it was like the first time the members of the Allied forces led by Theodore Ekechi that stopped Okorocha from installing his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as governor in 2019, and Okorocha’s camp met for a common interest.
