Otu Obiahu, AJM NEWS
The Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi has ordered that the immediate past governor of the state, who is now an APC Chieftain, Chief Martin Elechi, be paid the sum of (N100 Million) One Hundred Million Naira.
The huge sum, AJM NEWS gathered, would be given to Chief Elechi as a token of appreciation and to say a big thank you to him for the construction of Ochudo City during his tenure.
It is of note that Chief Martin Nwachor Elechi during his two terms and 8 years in office as Ebonyi State Governor, embarked on several projects, which had direct bearing on the lives and well-being of Ebonyians.
Some of those projects include:
The NATIONAL FISTULA CENTRE, Abakakaliki; the construction of Hospitals in the 3 Senatorial Zones of the state, construction of new structures in all primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in the state, and the introduction of boarding schools. The best graduating students were given the opportunity to study abroad under the state’s scholarship programme known as HIPACT.
Others are: Akanu Ibiam International Conference Centre (ICC), Ultramodern Rice Mills situated at Afikpo for Ebonyi South, Iboko for Ebonyi North, and Ikwo for Ebonyi Central, Ultramodern Digital Radio & Television Stations.
Ultramodern International Market, Oferekpe Water Scheme, Ebonyi State Pipe Industry, the Ocho Udo City, the state Secrietariat Complex, among others.
The N100 million, however, is not part of his owed entitlements as a former governor.
It would be recalled that Chief Elechi had earlier rejected a Car gift (SUV Prado Jeep) presented to him by Governor Umahi couple of years ago.
Meanwhile, all eyes are now on the APC Chieftain, Chief Martin Elechi to see what becomes of this Cash Appreciation Gift’ from Governor Umahi, which some have described as unnecessary and a possible trap to set him up, whether he would accept it, or reject it as usual.
