By\nOnyekachi Eze <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A member of the Imo State House of\nAssembly, that represented Oru East State constituency in the 6th House\n(2007-2011), Hon. Barr. Oyibo Ahaneku Nwaneri mni, has made revealing\nstatements about the recently repealed law on Governors, Deputy Governors,\nSpeakers and Deputy Speakers pensions and gratuities by the 9th House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The House, led by the Speaker, Chiji\nCollins had last two weeks repealed the law on payment of pensions and\ngratuities of past governors and speakers of the State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While this law as assented by Governor Hope\nUzodinma received wide commendation and jubilation by the masses, some had\ncontrary views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a media parley with Hon Oyibo\nNwaneri, yesterday in Owerri, she described the law as laudable; stressing that\nit takes people of goodwill to do such. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nwaneri opined that paying pensions and\ngratuities to past governors and speakers will amount to double jeopardy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She disclosed that anyone against the\nlaw is an enemy to the State, giving by the fact that the continuous payment\nwould not only promote illegality, but would eat deep into the State’s\ncoffers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nwaneri revealed that even the repealed\nlaw was also meant to pay all the past lawmakers of the State from the creation\nof Imo to a tone of 100k monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Against this backdrop, she queried how\nmuch would be left to the State if these pensions and gratuities are\npaid?. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, the critiques of the law,\naccording to Hon Nwaneri are only perturbed because such good law was made\npossible and assented under Governor Hope Uzodinma’s administration, who they\n(critiques) labelled all unprintable names in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, she commended the Rt Hon\nCollins Chiji led House for the huge sacrifice, adding that it speaks volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking further, the Special Adviser to\nthe Governor, Imo State House of Assembly liaison eulogized governor Uzodinma\nfor his continued selfless services and quest towards making the State\ngreat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She attributed Uzodinma as a unique\npolitician, obsessed with the passion to work and develop Imo State, even as she\npointed out that his landmark achievements so far speaks volume of his\npreparedness to govern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hon Oyibo Nwaneri also likened Hope\nUzodinma as a man with the flair to giving in all he has, in the cause of\npromoting lives and humanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She said as a Senator, and presently a\ngovernor, he has no spirit of amassing wealth to himself, rather, surrenders\nhis wealth for the common good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In her words, “This law clearly\nexplains the axiom, think about what you can do for the state, and not what the\nState can do for u. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Why leaders fail is because they lack\npolitical will. Hope is a man after God’s own heart. He is ready to go hungry\nin order to feed the poor and the destitute. With him, Imo will rise to stardom\nagain.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Onyekachi Eze A member of the Imo State House of Assembly, that represented Oru<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28758,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",461,500,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo-277x300.jpeg",277,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",461,500,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",461,500,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",461,500,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",461,500,false],"elegant-magazine-featured":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",461,500,false],"elegant-magazine-medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",350,380,false],"elegant-magazine-medium-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",184,200,false],"elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oyibo.jpeg",46,50,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28757"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28759,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28757\/revisions\/28759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
