Ihedioha Denies Giving Instruction Demolition Any Monument In Imo state
LAGOS JUNE 1ST (NEWSANGERS)- Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha has denied giving instruction for the demolition Akachi monument erected by his predecessor in Imo state.
The demolition is coming barely 24 hours after Ihedioha assumed office.
Report has it that Imo indigenes have condemned the action, stating the monument was constructed with public funds and should not be pulled down to spite the former administration.
The Governor was sworn-in as the sixth Executive governor of the state on Wednesday.
According to reports, it was built on a reclaimed dumpsite that was abandoned by previous administrations.
The Akachi monument was one of the structures commissioned by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo barely one week ago.
The monument, a massive tower with the symbol of a hand on the Zenith, representing the hand of God, sits on an expansive plot of land, reserved for religious purposes.
There are fears Ihedioha will also demolish other monuments in Owerri, the state capital, especially the famous statues.
But the governor denied ordering the demolition.
According to His Special Adviser, Steve Osuji, “ the governor is not aware of the demolition of any structure and never gave such directive.”
