Mayor Chimezie Obi Cleared of Embezzlement Allegations, Exposes Misconduct by Former HLGA
By Oge Onyeanusi Onitsha
The public is urged to disregard recent allegations of embezzlement against Hon. Chimezie James Obi, the Mayor of Ekwusigo Local Government Area (LGA). Contrary to the misinformation circulating, Obi has been vindicated as a prudent leader who acted swiftly to protect the local government treasury from misconduct by the former Head of Local Government Administration (HLGA), Mrs. Obiazi Chinyere.
Following his assumption of office as the elected Chairman of Ekwusigo LGA, Hon. Obi invited the Local Government Service Commission in Awka to investigate financial mismanagement claims allegedly spread by Mrs. Obiazi.
The commission’s inquiry found Mrs. Obiazi liable for gross misconduct, including the unauthorized disclosure of official secrets and causing financial embarrassment to the office of the mayor.
As a result, she was suspended from her position.
Despite her suspension, Mrs. Obiazi has continued to peddle unfounded allegations against Hon. Obi.
However, his track record in leadership speaks volumes about his integrity and commitment to transparency. The administration of Ekwusigo LGA reassures the public that the allegations against him are baseless and driven by personal vendetta.
“The case of Mrs. Obiazi is that of a wounded lion desperate to access public funds,” a statement from the Ekwusigo LGA Info-Desk read.
Residents are advised to remain calm and dismiss the false claims as the truth continues to prevail.
