The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, yesterday, said that the reason he has not named those behind insecurity in Imo State was to allow security agencies complete their investigation.The governor disclosed this in Lagos during a media parley.
Uzodimma spoke at the time gunmen went on rampage in Imo State killing two, beheading one and kidnapping one, just as they wrote petroleum products marketers to part with the sum of N20 million if they were interested in continuing with their businesses.
While responding to questions from journalists, Uzodimma said: “If you watch the last quarterly stakholders’ meeting held in Owerri where I was to name some of those suspected to be behind the insecurity in Imo State, in that meeting, I did say that the security agencies pleaded that because investigation is still going on, it will be too early for me to begin to name anybody.
“I explained that day that I will allow them to complete their job. The last time I contacted them, they asked for two more weeks. l do hope that in two weeks, the information will be ready and it will be made public to Nigerians.”
Speaking on South East producing the next Nigerian President, the governor called on the two big political parties to feature candidates from the South East to allow equity, justice and fairness.
