… Company threatens to sue Okorocha

… Company threatens to sue Okorocha:
From AIDOGHIE PAULINUS, Abuja
The last has not been heard on the controversy trailing the contract award of an ultra-modern judiciary headquarters building by the Imo State Government. Handlers of the project, Nnutouch Global Ventures Limited, have threatened to sue the state Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, for breach of contractual agreement.
Managing Director of the company, Dr. Osita Okereke, told Daily Sun in Abuja that the next line of action was that the company had decided to go to court.
His words: “My next line of action is that we have decided to go to court. The company met last night and decided to go to court this week, if we hear anything contrary to what they are planning to do.” Okereke added that Okorocha was trying to indict him to ensure that the N328 million owed Nnutouch by the state government would not be paid.
Okereke said: “I learnt the governor said he will look for all means to make sure that he indicts me, that he will do whatever he can to look for the people I have problem with.
“But I said, look, I have no skeleton in my cupboard. Whatever he thinks he can do let him go ahead and do it. But all I know is that we are going to fight him to a logical conclusion.”
Speaking earlier, Okereke urged Nigerians to ask Okorocha to return the sum of N328 million to his company. Okereke also called on the security agencies to investigate the whereabouts of the said money belonging to Nnutouch.
He said the company’s account with Zenith Bank, where it received the sum of N176 million on August 2012, being the first money Okorocha paid through the state’s Accountant General, was there for all to see.
He stated that after eight months of controversy with Okorocha to return the N24 million he took from the N528 million upfront, he later returned the money through his principal secretary on April 2, 2013.
Okereke wondered why Okorocha decided to pay the money through his principal secretary instead of the accountant general. Okorocha had awarded the contract at the sum of N1.3 billion to Nnutouch with N528 million as upfront payment.
