Meanwhile, Governor Uzodinma has said that his call for status reports from all ministries in the state was misconstrued as an intention to probe past administrations.
Uzodinma, speaking on Sunday, January 19 in Owerri, the state's capital, said he did not at any point say that he would probe anybody.
Legit.ng gathered that the governor said that he called for the reports because there has been no official handover since he assumed office.
He said that there was need for him to be abreast with what was on ground before he was declared the winner of the last election by the Supreme Court in Abuja.
However, the governor said that he will not hesitate to call for investigation in the course of reviewing reports from the ministries.
