The Apex Socio-cultural Igbo Youth organization Ohanaeze Youth Council( OYC) has described the executive Governor of Imo State Hope Uzodimma as an Imo prodigal Governor
Speaking to news men in Owerri on Monday 13th May 2024, the national President Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka described Hope Uzodimma outing on Thursday 7th May 2024 for the 52nd convocation lecture of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka as a futility event that amount to waste of state funds.
Comrade Igboayaka opted that Hope Uzodimma mobilizing over 2000 idle and hungry Imolites to Nsukka to cheer him up is a demonstration of prodigality, wasting of state funds all in an attempt to receive an unmerited Honorary Doctorate award. “Such funds could have been judiciously used for meaningful projects in the State, or even use as palliative at this time hunger is kissing over 80% of Imolites” Comrade Igboayaka stated.
Unfortunately, Hope Uzodimma whose O’level certificate is still in contention and in doubt at the ongoing Guber tribunal case spent over one billion naira (1b) to receive a honorary doctorate certificate.
Unfortunately Prof Charles Arinze Igwe, the Vice Chancellor of UNN has Derailed from the track of academic excellence of notable and noble University of Nigeria Nsukka by bestowing its prestigious Honorary Doctorate degree award to Hope Uzodimma whose academic history has been a subject of litigations and is currently being contested at the Imo state Government Election Tribunal panel.
Comrade Igboayaka call on National University Commission(NUC) to set up a Panel of inquiry to investigate Prof Charles Arinze Igwe on the money inducement award he gave to Hope Uzodimma who lack both academic prerequisites and character to receive such honorary doctorate award.
Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka frowned at the call of Hope Uzodimma to derobe and probe corrupt lecturers at University of Nigeria Nsukka, describing the statement as a call by a political hypocrite and sycophant that have misappropriated and embezzled the local Government Allocation since 4 years of his administration. Hope Uzodimma is simply an epitome of corruption among the political leaders in Southeast, therefore he lack the political moral ground to demand the probe of Corrupt lecturers.
“Unfortunately, Gov. Hope Uzodimma a political shenanigans, incompetent, mediocre and political profiteers asked the Nigeria lecturers to emulate their counterpart in western world, but has failed woefully to emulate his counterpart in the western world on selfless service and quality leadership to the people” Comrade Igboayaka concluded.
