The Imo State chapter of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has sent words of appreciation Governor Hope Uzodinma “on his uncommon determination and unprecedented zeal to sanitize the Imo pension system”

According to a statement by Cajethan Duke, Director General, APC Media Centre, I’m State, he said the party recognizes the incontrovertible fact that before the emergence of Uzodinma’s led administration, successive governments had had the reoccurring pension palaver a hard not to crack, due to high profile network of Pension cabal in the system who had sustained the malfeasance to the detriment of economic growth of the State and welfare of the genuine Pensioners and civil servants”

The statement read in part “

“The party is also aware that previous governments had had various pension verification exercises in the bid to address the endemic pension fraud, but lost the required sincerity of approach and political will to bring a permanent solution to the problems.

“Determined to address the unfortunate and regrettable issues of non-payment of pensions in the state, the Uzodimma led administration meticulously, without unnecessary media razzmatazz, embarked on a conscientious and painstaking pension sanitization exercise with the aim of proffering time tested and enduring solution to the ugly trend of pension crisis in the state, as well as to fish out the perpetrators of the mind boggling scam in the system.

“The party is shocked like every concerned and well-meaning Imolite with the emerging revelations and discoveries of humongous fraud that has endured and allowed to fester by previous administrations at the expense of our people, particularly the senior citizens. While we commend Governor Uzodimma for his rare determination to salvage the state in line with his 3R mantra of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery, the party wishes to urge him to complete the exercise by ensuring that all those discovered to have undermined and sabotaged the economic development of the state are properly prosecuted in line with the position and provision of the law to serve as deterrent to others.

“However, while we rejoice that Imolites and our teaming genuine pensioners are indeed happy that finally, a Daniel has come to judgement, as it is no longer business as usual, we wish to urge nde Imo to take notice of the inconsistence of character of our political detractors masquerading as oppositions, who had in their usual state of frustrated hallucination earlier challenged the government to reveal if true, the identifies of pension fraudsters, the same doubting Thomases have through their paid social media e-rats ingloriously assumed the position of solicitors and advocates of the identified pension fraudsters. We are hopeful, the real enemies of Imolites will soon be unmasked to the full glare of the people.

“The party is proud that inspite of the unnecessary sponsored media propaganda by the opposition elements in the state as well as their political motivated instigations against the effort of the State government, His Excellency, governor Uzodimma like a man with his eyes fixed on the ball, has remained determined, dogged, steadfast and unrelenting in his mission to completely eradicate the embarrassing issue of non-payment of pensions in the state due to myriads of financial irregularities occasioned by high level of organized corruption in the system.
