*Emeka Ihedioha v Hope Uzodinma*

In 2018, a friend of mine who was involved in the PDP party screening in Sokoto was told by a Fulani friend..(both are reading this post now) that Hope has been anointed the governor of IMO state. That what ever the result may be, Hope will eventually be declared governor. We doubted it. I doubted it. In 2018, three months to the election, a lawyer friend of mine with strong connection to katsina took me to presidential hotel Portharcourt. We met a scion of katsina Emirate .. a Fulani who told us to stop wasting our time and queue behind Hope because he had been anointed as governor of Imo state. I asked why.. and I was told that one powerful person up north has been settled with imo state.. settled? How? For what? I kept asking myself these questions but the answers that came to me made me queasy. The state is supposed to be paying a particular amount of money to this northern powerful man every month while 50% of the IMO state contracts will be reserved for this man.. I had my doubts but the events are adding up to convince me. That lawyer friend of mine is from Oguta.. he actually went for Hope. I couldn’t bring myself to support Hope. Why?

Now see my reasons. I know Hope. I had done a case against his company Smeic engineering. Hope refused to pay ikoku traders who supplied parts to his company. The amount was just 600k but Hope gave 1m to the police to deal with the boys. I did the case and I recovered the money. I ran away with a bad impression of the guy. I did another case against the same company owned by Hope. He got a contract of over 3 billion in NDDC for shore protection. He sub contracted it to a client , Chiteks ventures ltd. My client did a job of about 190m with borrowed fund. Hope was paid 3b for doing nothing and he refused to pay my client a dime. Hope issued a cheque for the money which had bounced severally. The matter is before the police.. Hope had spent big sums of money on bribe to the police and EFCC... but has refused to pay my client. My client has a judgement but Hope refused to bulge. I have another story of lady in a bank but for time constraint.. let’s leave it at that.

PMB knows of the character of Hope. Hope was pursued around for $12m contract scam in Calabar dredging contract.. it’s still pending and the presidency knew about it. Yet, no one arrested and prosecuted Hope. Instead PMB inflicted him on Imo state to settle a northerner. Maybe that settlement side is wrong but the way Hope defied gravity to be made imo governor makes the story to ring true.

Well, I can only say that imo will be worse off for it. Our allocation will be shared in Abuja. No meaningful project will be done. The OTOKOTO boys will bounce back. The 419 boys will take over imo state. The state will be further indebted and possibly RUGA will take root first in south east from IMO state. Folks! IMO is in the worst trajectory.
As for me? It is becoming clear that I will be long in Canada. It’s becoming possible that I will soon take my family out of that country.. it’s becoming possible that I will re-focus on my family and development in Canada!
