However, at the resumed hearing of the 7-man panel
headed by Mr Uche Franklyn Oraekeiyi, the deputy
governor who made the revelations and provided
copies of state government budgets for 2011 – 2014
to back his claims further told the panel that several
millions of naira allocated for the maintenance of
the farms by the government was also
released.Speaking with confidence, he maintained
that he had not committed any offence that could
warranthis removal from government by
impeachment.
He said: "I have always said that this is a straight
forward matter. One is the allegation of operating a
poultry farm. We have been able to put the message
across that the House of Assembly resolution is not
a law and the resolution was not made available to
me. We were able to make the point that there is also
poultry at government house and while the poultry at
the government house was evacuated with the
commencement of the panel proceedings.
"Today, I was able to present to the panel, other
evidence to show that there was poultry at the
government house. I got copies of the Enugu State
government budget for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014
and in each of these budgets, you have evidence of
the allocation for government house poultry and
piggery and amount attached to it and I was also
able to prove that the amount was released. If they
said there was no poultry, then let's know why we
have all these provisions all these years he stated.
