Before the vehicles were carted away, the State Secretary of the PDP, Ray Emeana, had released a letter from the SA, Security to the Governor, directing him to hand over the vehicles.
Emeana had said the vehicles were gifted to the party by the administration of Emeka Ihedioha.
Narrating details how the vehicles were carted away, the PDP spokesman said the vehicles were property of the party assigned to the State Chairman, Martin Ejiogu, and State Secretary, Ray Emeana.
He said the latest action is the first time in history of Imo politics, vehicles gifted to a political party will be withdrawn by a new regime, describing the act as an unfortunate incidence in the annals of politics of the state.
