There is an allegation that Emeka Ihedioha who was once the governor of Imo state, imported a Mercedes Benz Sprinter worth ₦187 million for the office of the Governor.
Emeka Ihedioha couldn’t have a taste of this Mercedes Sprinter because of the court ruling that nullified his governorship. On 14 January 2020, the Supreme Court in Nigeria declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress winner of Imo state 2019 governorship poll nullifying the election of Emeka Ihedioha.
Imo state Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, made this revelation of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter, during a radio programme in Owerri few days ago. The commissioner was of the opinion that a governor who has his people at heart shouldn’t be riding in such a multi-million car.

In addition, Mr. Emelumba disclosed that the Mercedes Benz Sprinter got to the port a month after the sack on Emeka Ihedioha. It was immediately impounded as soon as the information through the information network of Governor Uzodimma got to the government.
However, Emeka Ihedioha has denied this allegation. This was in a statement by Imo PDP Secretary Nze Ray Emeana on his behalf.
Mr Nze describes it as “a mere distraction from the obvious failure within the 100 days of the administration of Senator Hope Uzodinma”.
