“I was part of the administration but we must ensure that all mismanaged funds meant for the state are recovered.
“Chief Elechi as my mentor, showed me the way forward, gave me the freedom to exercise my rights and I bear no grudge against him.”
Akubaraoha promised to enthrone genuine reconciliation among the people of the state to move the state forward.
“I am under pressure to appoint people into various positions but utmost patience is needed because not everybody will be appointed and appointments will be a gradual thing.
“Those appointed should, however, not make their relations personal assistants but make such appointments from other areas so that it will spread.
“This is because I alone cannot make appointments as our government is intended to be all-inclusive,” he said.
On the sacking of Local Government caretaker chairmen, Umahi said that he did not sack any chairman or development center coordinators, saying that the officers should be doing their jobs.
“Any Local Government chairman or development centre coordinator, who wishes to resign, is free but the resignation letter should come straight to me and not through any other person.
“We will dedicate the coming week to praying and fasting to seek the face of God so that genuine reconciliation and attainment of our set development goals will be achieved,” Umahi said.
The governor during the church service also said that the state broadcasting service (EBBC) is free to transmit religious promotional programmes but noted that a committee would be set up through the Christian Association of Nigeria in the state to screen the programme content.
He announced the appointments of Chief Clement Nweke, former Special Adviser to former Elechi on House of Assembly Liaison as his
Principal Secretary while Mr Emmanuel Obasi, is appointed the deputy.
