IwuStill Chairman Imo Covid-19 Committee
Prof.
Maurice Iwu,Chairman of the Special Committee set up by Governor Hope
Uzodimma of Imo Stateto deal with the ravaging coronavirus as it may
concern the state has not resignedhis position.
Governor
Uzodimma lastweek inaugurated a 9-man committee comprising tested
professionals in the fieldof medicine and related disciplines and named
Iwu who has been at the forefrontof research to find a cure for the
coronavirus as Chairman.
The
Iwu-led committeehas not only demonstrated capacity in dealing with the
Covid-19 pandemic as itaffects Imo, but continues to thinker its
operations to proactively deal withthe virus and make Imo safe.
Unfortunately,
theopposition who do not see anything good in what is good and noble
havecontinued to fan the embers of falsehood, all in an attempt to
discredit theIwu-led panel and by extension, the government of Imo State
led by GovernorUzodimma.
For
the avoidance ofdoubt, Prof. Iwu has continued to function in the
capacity as Chairman of theImo State Covid-19 Special Committee and said
he has not found any reason toresign a job of service to the people of
Imo.
According
to Prof. Iwu,those who are propagating the lie about his purported
resignation are enemiesof the people of Imo State and should be told
so. They delight seeing Imo people suffer andwould be happy to see the
State overrun by the coronavirus.
He
warned againstinterpretation of the committee’s operation to
accommodate the Imo StateCommissioner for health in the scheme of
reporting of its activities to thegovernor as an aberration.
Iwu
said he hasconfidence in, and trust the capacity of all the members of
his committee todeliver on the mandate Governor Uzodimma gave to them.
Recall
that GovernorUzodimma, during his state broadcast on Saturday thanked
the Prof. Iwu-ledcommittee for being effective in the discharge of their
duties.
