Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has rebuffed Charles Orie, a former Managing Director of the Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, over his ‘resignation’ claims.
The commission, an interventionist agency set up by a former governor of the state, Ikedi Ohakim, in 2007, is modelled after the Niger Delta Development Commission to manage the state’s 13 per cent oil derivation fund to drive infrastructural development in its oil-producing communities.

Mr Orie, in a letter addressed to Governor Uzodinma, claimed he resigned his appointment for political reasons.
“After thorough contemplation and heartfelt prayer, I have decided to resign from my position to focus on preparing for my political aspirations in the 2027 elections.
