Imo State Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma’s failures to remunerate his appointees well has led to disatisfactions and divisions among them.”as a hungry man is an angry man”.
Many appointees, including commissioners, Special Advisers, and Senior Special Assistants, have not received corresponding pay for their roles, leading to disatisfactions and current agitations for severance allowances and completion of the denied backlogged monthly payments of the previous Appointees.
The newly appointed, Commissioners, Special Advisers and Senior Special Assistants and others are also grumbling about underpayments and lack of offices and subvention allowances as all attempts to see the Governor one on one has “failed on a deaf ear”.
This disservice has created lacuna, bitterness and rancour among appointees, resulting in the alleged internal and external conflicts.
A recent incident involving, S A Electronics Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, and FCC Jones, openly attacking, Special Adviser, Motor Park and Supervisor Imo Parks, Pastor Frank Onwumere, over a misunderstanding with the Container Driver’s Association is a show that something is fishing.
However, Onwumere, showing his clean slate by producing his payment receipts from the State government’s Single Treasury Account system and front loading same to the Chief of Staff Government House, Sir Nnamdi Anyaehie and his team is a clear evidence that his agency is working while many other SAs are in the limbo awaiting for the government contracts.
The berserk actions of Nwaogwugwu and FCC Jones is a “kingdom dividing itself” Can it stand?, as the government of Senator Hope Uzodimma in Imo State is being surrounded by men of selfish interests, acrimony and bitterness and the need for complete overhauling and retraining of the Governors Appointees as it becomes imperative to ensure that the team comes together to serve the State better as were “Two Elephants fights it’s only the grass that suffers”, and “a stitches in time saves nine”.
