Rochas Okorocha and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state (PDP) of fighting to control the local governments in order to embezzle\u00a0 their monthly allocations.<\/p>\n<p>The party insists that\u00a0 the current struggle\u00a0 between Okorocha and the PDP is purely for the control of the council allocatoins and nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement endorsed by its state Secretary, Christian Oguama, ACN alleged that\u00a0 there are\u00a0 huge cache of funds accruing to the council monthly which Okorocha sees as free and easy funds and would not allow the PDP\u00a0 manage the funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c It has been alleged that most of the Transition Committee, since they were appointed, they are only allowed to take the exact amount required to pay salaries plus a few Millions to\u00a0 run their councils. The balance of these allocations running into millions per council, monthly, disappear into thin air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch monies have perpetually tremained unaccounted for . No documentary evidence exist as to how\u00a0 these billions were spent,\u201d the party alleged.<\/p>\n<p>ACN further argued that if Okorocha\u00a0 had genuinely sought to correct the perceived irregularities of the 2010 council polls\u00a0 in the state, he would have conducted a fresh election as quickly as possible upon dissolution of the councils when he assumed office last year.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Imo State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has accused GoVv.
