Immediately after being sworn in on Wednesday, January 15, as governor of Imo, Uzodimma directed that the tenures of three past heads of governments in the state be probed.
Those whose tenures are affected as a result of the order include Ikedi Ohakim, his successor, Okorocha and Emeka Ihedioha, who until recently was in charge of the government in the state.
Uzodinma issued the order when he spoke for the first time after his inauguration. He asked the state's accountant-general to send to him the full financial standing of the state as at May 29, 2010.
While promising to make the state work again, he said his government is anchored on three ideas - rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery.
He praised the Nigerian judiciary, thanked God and said he had forgiven all those who played roles in stealing the mandate he suffered to get.
