He spoke on Wednesday at a retreat for the incoming House of Assembly members, Vanguard reports.
His words: “I will formally write to the security agencies about the persons who think they can plunder the state resources.
“I said this and I will do it. It is worrisome the kind of things we see in our dear state. I just need to have a hand-over note.
“Hand over note is very important because I need to also account for the resources of whatever money I expended to the person coming after me.
“We will criminalise anybody who takes the property of the state.”
Ihedioha also warned the members-elect that his government would not tolerate the creation of new autonomous communities
On the speakership race, Ihedioha said: “While you aspire to be the Speaker of the House, you have a lot of work to do because from the executive, we will be firing a lot of bills. So, whoever that will be a House Leader must do a lot of work”.
