IMO TRADERS ASSOCIATION BERATES RT HON EMEKA IHEDIOHA'S ACTION ON MAKING IMO UNGOVERNABLE

~ SAYS HIS ACTIONS HAS CAUSED HARDSHIP FOR IMO TRADERS AND MARKETERS.

The Imo state association for traders and marketers in the state has lamented the woes caused by Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha to it's members in Imo state. This is coming at the heels of the leaked audio credited to Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, were he vowed to make Imo ungovernable. The group in a press release signed by its chairman, Chief Emmanuel Kalu, and secretary, Mrs Margaret Uzomba and made available to newsmen in owerri yesterday, noted with deep regret that the leaked telephone conversation of the former Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha where he, in an unwholesome manner stressed that he will make Imo ungovernable for the Governor of Imo is regretabble, as he asserted that for peace to reign in Imo, the current administration of Sen. Hope Uzodimma must step down.

The group said that recent developments with severe economic consequences have however prompted them to address key issues that portend a grave danger for the ease of doing business as well as the practice of marketing in Imo State. They stressed that by the leaked phone conversation of Emeka Ihedioha, he has pledged to render Imo State ungovernable for Gov. Hope Uzodimma, and this has therefore, facilitated grave economic consequences for marketers and traders in the State especially with "the Monday "sit at home".

"Recall that countless marketers and traders have been harassed, beaten and lost their lives for simply making business transactions on Mondays."

The group noted that IMO MARKETERS AND TRADERS WELFARE ASSOCIATION (IMTWA) has worked closely with the Government through the years, collaborating in various capacities, to support policy implementation, towards the growth and advancement of the State. They further lamented that Imo marketers and traders have suffered untold hardship as a result of the selfish desperation for political benefits of Emeka Ihedioha who has colluded with non state actors to deny Imo traders the peace for ease of doing business and transporting safely themselves as well as their goods and services.

"As a body which represents a critical sector of the State we call on the State Government and Nigerian police to investigate properly the former speaker chief Emeka Ihedioha on being associated with insecurity that has demoralized businesses and livelihood in the state."

"We would want to reiterate that economic growth is better served in an atmosphere of collaboration, mutual respect, and trust. We therefore, enjoin the State Government and other relevant bodies to take action and protect Imo marketers and traders from untold hardship."
