Imo: Account for N206bn misappropriated LG funds, PDP tells Uzodinma

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Imo state, has challenged Governor Hope Uzodimma to account for over N206 billion local government funds allegedly misappropriated by his government.

The PDP’s publicity secretary, Collins Opurozor made the call at a press conference at the party secretariat while alleging that the governor has destroyed the local government system which is a mechanism put in place by law to expand and sustain the democratic space and to spread democratic values.

He said, “Senator Uzodimma must without any further delay, tell the people the whereabouts of the N206 billion he has received belonging to the local governments.”

“This is a huge tragedy! Imo is a state that has over 70 percent of its entire population living in rural areas. Yet, the only channel through which governance can be delivered to the people has been completely run aground.”
