OWERRI—Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, has said that he is not afraid of being probed any day by anybody or group.

Chief Ihedioha, who stated this while addressing scores of his constituents at the weekend, in his Mbaise country home, also said he was aware that as a public officer, he could be probed any day.

The deputy speaker said: “I am aware that I am a public officer, I am subject to probe any time. My sincere promise is that I will remain committed and consistent to improving the welfare of our people.”

After chronicling the volume of projects presently being executed by the Federal Government in the state, Chief Ihedioha also said he has entered into the job creation stage of his assignment.

“We have trained and empowered nearly 2,000 women and youths from across the state. I have set up a machinery to constantly trail the recipients of the gadgets with a view to ensuring their proper use”, Ihedioha said.

He appealed to those “who have been saying and writing all manner of things against my person” to do a rethink and join in the crusade to improve the welfare of Imolites.

“We have no other state than Imo. Everybody must help to stabilise and grow the state and its people. This should be our collective target”, he pleaded.
