There are serious indications that Nnewichi Community and Nnewi North Local Government Transition Chairman, Rt. Hon. Engr. Prince Chukwudi Orizu is set to clash as a result of the Non-Payment of Ten (10) Million Naira belonging to the Nnewichi Community.
Anaedoonline.com was reliably informed that the refusal of Rt. Hon. Engr. Prince Chukwudi Orizu to pay the sum of N2.6M annually over the past four years, from the money generated from Nnewi Park belonging to Nnewichi Community is set to cause a major crisis.
Speaking to our correspondent, a stakeholder in Nnewichi Community who pleaded for anonymity, said that the continuous refusal of Hon. Chukwudi Orizu to pay Nnewichi has angered the Community.
Speaking he said, “Nnewi Park which is in Nkwo Triangle Nnewi belongs to Nnewichi Community, for the past two (2) decade, a percentage of money that is generated from the park goes to Nnewichi Community.
“The past head, elected or appointed Nnewi North Local Government Chairmen have always kept their own part of the obligation. Currently, the park is used by Romchi Transport Company, the company pays Chukwudi Orizu N3.5M annually, the park is also used by Ekwulobia Mass Transit, they per N100 per trip which runs into millions annually, we wonder why Chukwudi Orizu has refused to pay Nnewichi Community just N2.6M as agreed.
“We have given him enough respect as the son of our revered Igwe, His Royal Highness, Igwe Kenneth Orizu (III), but it appears he is yet to appreciate that, we have concluded plans to make each of the details public through a press conference.
“We have pleaded with him severally but he proudly told our community that he can’t pay us, that we should go to court, the matter is already in court.
“Most of the development projects we have built in our community were as a result of the proceeds from the park, but Chukwudi Orizu has decided to pocket the money of Nnewichi Community.
An attempt to get the reaction of Nnewi North Local Government Transition Chairman, Rt. Hon. Engr. Prince Chukwudi Orizu, at the time of writing, proved abortive as he refused to pick or return his calls.
