Allegation
The EFCC charged former Governor Rochas Okorocha, an APC politician, and five companies with conspiring to steal ₦2.9 billion in public funds, filing 17 charges at the Federal High Court in Abuja around the time Okorocha was declaring a 2023 presidential ambition.
Outcome / Status
Okorocha publicly alleged that Governor Uzodinma was the political force behind the EFCC charges; the Imo State Government denied this and warned Okorocha to leave Uzodinma out of his case with the EFCC. No independently verified trial outcome was identified for this entry.
Administration's response
The Imo State Government publicly denied orchestrating the EFCC charges against Okorocha, characterising his counter-accusation as a political deflection.

Allegation
Governor Uzodinma repeatedly claimed dramatic increases in Imo's monthly IGR (up to ₦3 billion) and GDP ranking, which an independent fact-check found did not match documented state revenue figures.
Outcome / Status
The fact-check found the highest monthly IGR actually recorded was ₦1.73 billion (2021) against the ₦3 billion claimed, and that Imo met only 3.78% of its projected 2023 IGR target in Q1 — a substantial gap between public claims and documented performance, though not itself a criminal finding.
Administration's response
No detailed on-record government rebuttal of the specific fact-check findings was identified for this entry.
