There are so many other people whose land the White paper said, investigate and find out if the acquired land is within a government area, and we have not done that,\u201d Awuzie said.<\/p>\n<p>On the threats he said \u201cbasically there are no serious challenges because we have the maximum support of the State government and agencies. I was an ASUU president, I don\u2019t reckon with threats. I know the God I serve will have to do what is right at all times; we would all meet our creator one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I have been receiving some strange calls, but they will not distract me from what I\u2019m doing now, I don\u2019t answer any calls. I don\u2019t know who the caller is again,\u201d Awuzie confessed.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on other discoveries, the committee chairman said they discovered that all of the process of land revocation and allocation during Okorocha\u2019s administration never followed due process.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWhat was alarming was that the government was run without due process and all the challenges we had arose from the government not following due process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to revoke lands, there are processes; you don\u2019t revoke personal land and turn it to personal use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can only revoke when there is a compelling government use at that moment; you don\u2019t revoke land and give it to your families or friends.<\/p>\n<p>The committee, in their seat last week, had accused Senator Okorocha of partitioning and appropriating the properties located in various areas of the State to himself and his family members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\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 Government White Paper Implementation Committee on Lands and other Related Matters said it has recovered and returned a total of 987 properties from former governor of the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":89374,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
