Imo Governor, Hope Uzodinma Thursday met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to seek approval for the refund of about N32 billion the state had allegedly expended on federal projects.
Imo is in “financial distress” the governor declared while sparking to State House correspondents after the meeting with Buhari.
He said the funds, if released, will assist in clearing both salary and pension arrears.
According to him also, the consultants he engaged discovered that at least N32 billion was spent on federal roads in the past.
Uzodinma said he briefed Buhari on the situation of things he met on the ground in the state generally when he took over as governor.
Uzodinma’s predecessors are Achike Udenwa (1999 to 2007), Ikedi Ohakim (2007 to 2011), Rochas Okorocha (2011 to 2019) and Emeka Ihedioha who governed for only seven months before the supreme court sacked him.
