  GACIY receives Government's disclosure of a "fresh plot by politicians to destabilize Imo" with a mix of concern and frustration. The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba, told newsmen on Tuesday that "a former governor of the state and other disgruntled politicians have voted a hefty N5b with which to trigger another round of security crisis in the state." Emelumba went on to add that "a serving member of the House of Representatives from Imo State is coordinating the destabilization plot." That "part of the plot is to raise a petition to the Inspector General of Police that security has collapsed in the state and that the government has been overwhelmed by the challenges. They are going to use the recent unfortunate fate of our two Royal Fathers from Njaba to anchor their campaign." These terrorists, looters and mandate thieves want to force the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Imo, leading t

A sinister plot has been uncovered where aggrieved and opposing Imo-born politicians have perfected plans to submerge the State into another stream of security crises. These unpatriotic elements who are fraudulently placed Imolites, raised a whopping sum of N5b, lobbied some members of the National Assembly for a petition to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in order to have the present Government out of office. Their plans also involve a propaganda that would also declare Imo State as being in a State of Emergency.  Recall that upon the declaration of Governor Hope Uzodimma as the Executive Governor of Imo State, the opposition party vowed to make the State ungovernable and, truth be told, they are living up to their plans. In partnership, the Internally Displaced Politicians (IDPs), indicted by white paper on land matters, have continued to collaborate with the opposition in crisis brewing. It is becoming clearer to those in doubt, the sponsors and perpetrators, that the insecuri

The youths had in a statement last week signed by its convener, Collins Ughalaa, said that they uncovered the "top secret" loan which the Ihedioha administration allegedly secured.  In a swift response, the Ihedioha camp through a press release signed by Barr. Uche Onyeagucha, admitted that the Ihedioha administration initiated a move to obtain the loan facility but said that it followed due process. Onyeagucha stated that a committee was set up to source the loan. However, he denied that it was paid before the administration was sacked by the Supreme Court on January 14, 2020. In a counter statement on Monday, October 25th, 2021, GACIY wondered why the Ihedioha
