The Imo state Governor-Elect, Emeka Ihedioha, has issued a warning to financial institutions to cease from conducting new transactions with the current state government.
He also warned that any individual or institutions that do not adhere does so at their own peril.
The statement was made at a media interaction in Owerri on Thursday. According to Ihedioha, new transactions would increase chances of illegal activities and jeopardise the financial stability of the state.
The Governor-Elect said part of his duties and responsibilities would be to ensure that citizens and residents of the state remained united and work together for the common good of the state.
He also commended other contestants in the just concluded election for their “sportsmanship” and urged them to partner with his administration to “restore the dignity of the state”.
Dedicating his success to the “common men”, he commended the people for buying into his vision of realising a dream state and promised to work hard to justify their faith in him.
Ihedioha also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies for the roles they played in safeguarding a credible election.
He further on outlined the plans to set up a transition committee to liaise with the outgoing government to ensure a smooth transition and also chart a way forward for the state.
He also promised to work out programmes, which would engage the youth as a way to end drug abuse and curb vices, starting with the rehabilitation of the four technical colleges in the state.
