After the dissolution of the Imo State Expanded Executive Council by the Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, it is learnt that many of the Appointees in the last Cabinet will not return.<\/p>\n
Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0was informed that Governor Uzodinma has decided to close the door of his new Administration to all those connected, or indicted in the secret probe on the Land Racketeering scam that rocked the State.<\/p>\n
It would be recalled that the issue of illegal Land grabbing landed two of Uzodinma\u2019s former Commissioner inside Police cells in Owerri, where they spent weeks in detention.<\/p>\n
This Newspaper learnt that in the process of unveiling the cause of the land scam issue, the detained former Commissioners opened up.<\/p>\n
Sources said that in the process of their confession, the embattled top Appointees reeled out names involved in the whole scam.<\/p>\n
Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0was told that a lot of names were mentioned, which shocked the Governor, as many of those whose names appeared on the list are people close to the Governor.<\/p>\n
The developed surprised the Governor who had hitherto thought that some of those mentioned were his confidants, and the faces of his administration.<\/p>\n
While these indicted Aides were not arrested by police to avoid more scandal, the Governor decided to keep them at arms length and shut them out of his coming reconstituted State Executive Council.<\/p>\n
Our reliable source said that Governor Uzodinma has not forgiven these Aides for tarnishing the name of his administration, and betraying the trust he had in them and therefore will punish them by not giving them a second chance.<\/p>\n
Apart from the former Commissioner for Lands, Hon Abiaso Atulaegwu\u00a0\u00a0and Housing Commissioner, Lady Love Ineh, whose cases were made open, information has it that more \u201cBig Fishes\u201d were indicted but were lucky to have escaped detention, because Uzodinma was rounding off his first term.<\/p>\n
Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0learnt that some of these indicted officers, whose names are kept out of public domain are those the Governor would\u00a0\u00a0have announced their appointments immediately he was sworn-in, but now taking his time to study the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cHad these people not mentioned, I bet you by now the Governor would since have announced their appointments. But he is disappointed, and careful while shopping for fresh hands who will not shock him after trusting them\u201d a competent source said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Governor is said to be careful this time in assembling his new cabinet, as only those \u201cqualified\u201d will be chosen and no more \u201cby Godfatherism or friendship\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIf you hear the real names involved in the Land scam, you will be shocked. These are people the Governor saw as his main people.<\/p>\n
People he can vouch for. But they disappointed him, human beings are unpredictable, the reason the Governor is careful this time in Assembling his new Cabinet\u201d\u00a0Trumpeta<\/i>\u00a0was told by a former Commissioner.<\/p>\n
