“I will have to involve the services of security agencies in making sure that those who served the state must account for it (money spent).

“I will criminalise those who loot our treasury. Nothing was handed over to me. We must make them accountable,” Ihedioha said.

He advised the lawmakers-elect to diligently serve the state, noting that the state is at a “critical point”.



He said, “The opportunities that your legislative position offers may also appear daunting as it is exciting, and as challenging as it is empowering.
