Okorocha’s probe not witch-hunt – Ihedioha

Hindi Livinus, Yola

The Governor of Imo State , Emeka Ihedioha , has urged Nigerians not to see the current probe of his predecessor, Rochas Okorocha, as an act of witch- hunt .

The governor stated this while speaking to journalists in Yola , the Adamawa State capital, after he paid a condolence visit to the state Governor , Ahmadu Fintiri , over the death of his father .

Ihedioha , who also stated that he was awaiting the outcome of the probe report , added that such investigation was necessary to make Imo State better .

He assured Nigerians that his government would not hesitate to implement the recommendations of the committee ’ s report once it was ready .
Ihedioha also clarified that the recent revelations about the recovery of N 1.

2bn and some properties by the state government from the immediate past administration did not emanate from him .

He said they were from the investigative panel he set up to probe the last eight years of the All Progressives Congress in the state .

The governor said , “I don ’t think I said all those things. Because I am not witch- hunting the former governor . There was a committee that we set up that is doing all those things
( investigations ) .

“The findings of the committee have not been made known to me . Obviously , this ( probe ) is to make Imo State better now .”
