Martin Elechi

Chief Martin Nwancho Elechi served two terms as PDP Governor of Ebonyi State (2007–2015), succeeding Sam Egwu. His tenure ended in a public feud with his Deputy and chosen successor David Umahi; Umahi publicly petitioned the EFCC over alleged financial recklessness during the Elechi administration, and the EFCC opened a probe of an alleged $12 million fraud, arresting a former Elechi-era commissioner. The investigation's outcome is not documented in the corpus, and no charges or conviction are recorded against Elechi personally. Status `alleged`, with the editorial caveat that the allegation traces to a successor-vs-predecessor political feud.
