• CTG charged members of Imo House of Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against the governor due to his lack of action and leadership in addressing burning issue.

• The ongoing workers’ strike has disrupted public services, with healthcare and education severely affected, and CTG urged the governor to engage in meaningful dialogue with the workers.

The Coalition for True Governance (CTG) has called for the impeachment of Imo Governor, Hope Uzodinma, due to his lack of action and leadership in addressing the recurring killings in the state.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Convener, Charles Odenigbo, CTG urged security agencies to increase efforts to tackle the spate of insecurity in the state, amidst the workers’ industrial action.

CTG expressed its disappointment with the governor’s failure to address burning issues in the state, which has resulted in significant disruption and fear among the people.

It is unacceptable that innocent lives are lost on a regular basis while workers are forced to take to the streets to demand better pay and working conditions.

The recent killings of five policemen and a couple in the Ngor-Okpala area of the state have added to the disturbing trend of violent crimes, including kidnappings and murders.

CTG regrets that Imo is often in the news for the wrong reasons and calls for urgent action to address the security challenges in the state.

CTG also criticized the governor’s handling of the ongoing workers’ strike, which has severely affected public services, with healthcare and education being the most affected.

The group urged the governor to engage in meaningful dialogue with the workers to resolve the issues.

CTG charged members of Imo House of Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against the governor if he continues to fail in his duties.

The lawmakers are there to serve the people, and if the governor cannot provide the necessary leadership, then the option of impeachment should be considered.
