Determined to further expose alleged illicit activities of Imo State Commissioner for Industry, Mines and Solid Minerals,,Hon. Ernest Ibejiako, concerned people of Naze Autonomous Community, Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, have described his media response on allegations of land grabbing and alleged contempt of court as watery, filled with lacuna and lies, pointing out that he smartly and craftily attributed his alleged offence to enemies of the government in order to cover up his alleged illicit activities.
Exposing what he described as infantile and crafty lies, the leader of Concerned Indigenes of Naze Mr Chigaemezu Iheanacho, said; the manner Ibejiako kept mute on allegations of terrorising people of Umuezuo Naze with thugs led by a Fulani man,Mr Badamosi Idris in his reply on allegations of land, intimidation and humiliation, he exposed himself as a man who is telling lies about his activities in the industrial layout as well as the real enemy of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
Recall that concerned Indigenes people of Umuezue Naze had earlier called on governor Uzodimma to sack Ibejiako over alleged land grabbing, contempt of Court and intimidation with taskforce headed by a Fulani man,Badamosi Idris.
While replying to the allegations, he kept mute on the alleged brutal activities of thugs he constituted to intimidate the people, headed by one Fulani man, Badamosi Idris.
Exposing what he perceived as lacuna and lies in the response of Hon. Ibejiako, Mr Iheanacho said his watery response on contempt of Court, silence on the alleged activities of his brutal thugs exposed were smart moves to cover up skeleton in his cupboard.
Mr leader of Concerned Naze Indigenes said, is laughable for a man who is silently and seamlessly working against the governor to craftily turn back to alleged that the same sincere, committed and passionate supporters of Governor Uzodimma are his enemies when in reality their sincerity have already exposed his insincerity.
According to him, it is obvious that Governor Uzodimma is not into land grabbing, any member of his administration fingered in it is the real enemy of the Governor,
He told Governor Uzodimma to cross check the activities of Hon.Ibejiako in Naze Industrial Layout, alleging that he does not mean well for the governor.
Mr Iheanacho noted that is obvious that alleged illicit works of Ibejiako have exposed him as the real enemy of 3R Agenda of Governor Uzodimma, saying; knowing it may lead to his shameful sack, he turned and tag their sincere efforts to expose him as the work of enemies the governor, stating is a class case of misinterpretation, misrepresentation and distratraction from the real issue on ground against him.
He described his response as infantile and crafty as he smartly turned the allegations raised against to handiwork of the enemies of the governor when they already stated their unalloyed support for the Uzodimma led Shared Prosperity Administration .
According to him, Jigsaw and one Mr Paschal were among the people the court judgement favoured,.ministry of Land and Ministry of Industry also have allocations but Hon. Ibejiako is allegedly tampering with Allocations given to others with a view to grab it irrespective of a Court judgement Imo State Government has accepted and abided by it including the prediccessors of Ibejiako.
Describing him as a man who wants to sweep allegations against him under the carpet, they concerned indigenes of Naze asked him to clear allegations of constituting a taskforce without the approval of the governor.
Adding his voice, Mr Eze said there is no relationship between the allegations raised against Ibejiako and a picture of coordinated smear campaign aimed at discrediting the developmental strides of the Uzodimma led administration he painted.
Noting that the manner he attributed allegations against him to the enemies of the governor is diversionary, childish, it signals craftiness and further exposed a man with skeleton in his cupboard who wants to shift attention from weighty allegations raised against him
The concernn indigenes have passionately called on Governor Uzodimma to investigate Ibejiako's activities in Naze Industrial Layout and take necessary action. They believe that Ibejiako's actions are not in the best interest of the governor and the state.
The entire Umeuzue village and stakeholders believe that the governor's response to these allegations will be crucial in determining the fate of Ibejiako and the future of the state and if the governor fails to take action, it could be seen as a sign of complicity or weakness.
They also expressed believe that the allegations against Ibejiako could have significant implications for the state's reputation and investment climate. If the state is seen as being unable to manage its land and security effectively, it could deter investors and undermine the state's economic growth.
