Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma has assured the women of Okigwe zone that he is going to bequeath best legacies of good governance to the state.
Governor Uzodimma made the promise yesterday, when women from the Okigwe zone came on a visit to thank him and the First Lady, Barr. Chioma Uzodimma for their support to the zone.
The women under the umbrella of Okigwe Women First Alliance, led by the National Coordinator of NEPAD, Princess Gloria Akobundu assured the governor of their support for his second term bid.
Receiving the visitors at the Sam Mbakwe Expanded Exco Chambers, Government House, Owerri, the governor thanked them for the visit and commended them for recognizing his efforts and commitment to the development of Imo State.
Uzodimma promised that before the end of 2022, the Owerri/Okigwe road, the first phase of which was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari recently, would be completed.
He reminded the women and Okigwe leaders who accompanied them that his main priority was to bequeath the best legacies of good governance to Imo people, but regretted that along the line there were temptations.
Notwithstanding the temptations, he said his government has continued to do good things for which he would be remembered like the first governor of old Imo State, late Dr. Samuel Onunaka Mbakwe.
Uzodimma said the disturbances, infractions, armed robbery and kidnapping, in Okigwe zone were not caused by the good people of Okigwe, rather by those who escaped during the jailbreaks at the Correctional Centre in Owerri.
He said that Okigwe zone has highly civilized and educated men and women who ought to know the political situation of Nigeria, noting that the zone could not afford to play opposition politics that does not bring development.
He noted that the achievements so far recorded by his administration were made possible because of his relationship with President Buhari and not necessarily the result of the budget or internally generated revenue.
He, therefore, enjoined Okigwe people and by extension, all citizens of Imo State, to endeavour to hook unto the national political grid by voting for all APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
