Anambra State Local Government Service Commission has described as spurious and odious reports alleging mismanagement of monies given to its Chairman, Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka intended for 40 workers in each of the 21 local government areas of the State.
The report had alleged Ezeaka’s diversion of N20,000 transport largesse by Governor Chukwuma Soludo intended for 40 workers in each of the 21 local government areas of the State.
The report alleged that the diversion had sparked outrage among the workers who were denied of the funds.
But refuting the report, Public Relations Officer, LGSC, Comrade Agu Chidi in a statement said Ezeaka never disbursed any money, but ordered that the attendees transport fares be shared to all the local Government workers as directed by the Governor and was carried out with immediately in the presence of the Labour Leaders.
The statement reads, “The attention of the Anambra State Local Government Service Commission have been drawn to the Spurious and odious misinformation circulating in various electronic and print media to the purported mismanagement of monies given by Mr Governor Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo as transport fares to LG workers when he attended the opening ceremony of the Anambra State Local Government Service Week; Dora Akunyili Women Development Center, Awka on 25th June 2024.
“The Commission wishes to set the record straight and to convey to Ndi Anambra and the general public that those allegations are false, devoid of any iota of truth.
“It is simply the handiwork of mischief makers and enemies of Anambra State Government; bent on creating unnecessary tension in the State and whose intent is aimed at rubbishing the monumental achievements in local government reforms, and Zero tolerance to corruption initiated by the Award winning; Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka.
“For the sake of clarity, Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka never disbursed any money, but ordered that the attendees transport fares be shared to all the local Government workers at the Dora Akunyili Women Development Center, as directed by Mr Governor Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo, and which was carried out with official dispatch in the presence of the Labour Leaders, including the State president of NULGE.
“All the attendees present at the Hall collected their #20,000 largesse together with their lunch package.
“Therefore, the Anambra State Local Government Service Commission found it absurd and surprising that some uninformed disgruntled elements and agents of distabilization shall concoct such baseless allegation and lies against the person of Barrister Vin Ifeanyi Ezeaka (Esq) whose pedigree as an incorruptible personality and his impeccable record of zero tolerance for corruption and other related vices shines as beacon for everyone to behold.”
