Gov. Uzodinma sacks 27 IMC Chairmen

Governor Hope Uzodinma has ordered the immediate dismissal of the 27-man Interim Management Committee Chairmen of the state.

This is contained in a statement issued on Sunday after a closed-door meeting at the Sam Mbakwe Executive Chambers, Government House, Owerri.

At the meeting, Governor Uzodinma thanked them for the services rendered in their different local government areas.

According to him, they have been loyal to his administration since their appointment about two and half years ago.

The governor reminded them of his resolve to hold the local government area election in Imo State and the need to appoint Sole Administrators who will oversee the coming election.

He told them that his government will not hesitate to engage their services in other areas they are found capable as APC members.

Responding, Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, (ALGON) in Imo State, Mr Willie Okoliogo, who is also the Chairman of Oru West Local Government Area, on behalf of the sacked IMC Chairmen promised to remain loyal to the governor and the APC.
