GOVERNOR UZODINMA IS THE NEW BEAMING LIGHT OF APC (By Alhaji Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji))
In
March 2021, the Executive Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma invited
the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of
Nigeria to commission some laudable projects executed by the Sen. Hope
Uzodinma’s led administration in Imo State. The projects amongst many were the
Federal Secretariat road named after President Buhari, and that of Port
Harcourt road. The President notably said “I am happy about the positive
development taking place in Imo state, especially in the area of infrastructure
in the state, within a very short period of time just in one year. I am also
happy to learn from Governor Uzodinma that the policies of our administration
and the manifesto of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), have
greatly influenced his resolve to make a difference in Imo State. I pray that
you will keep the flag flying.”
The
President added, “I call on Imo people to continue to support the Governor
Uzodimma’s administration to provide more infrastructures to Imo people.” Truth
be told, I wasn’t paying a serious attention when the president made those
vital comments about a project and people-oriented governor. Governor Hope is
not only a new beacon of hope to the people of Imo State; he has extended his
sincerity of purpose, loyalty, doggedness and developmental principles to the
national life of the All Progressives Congress.
Moreover,
despite coming from the South East where the APC as a party has hitherto, relatively
low supporters, but today with the support and the actions of the business
minded governor of Imo State, the party’s support base is growing
astronomically in the South Eastern geopolitical zone.
As
a matter of fact, the government of His Excellency was founded on the
democratic principles of open, transparent, accountable, and inclusive
governance. The Imolites are now enjoying participatory governance unlike the
previous administration that turned Imo State into a family affair business and
became tyrant to those citizens he was meant to govern. A good example is the
recovery of the K. O. Mbadiwe University for the Imo citizens. The University
project that was built by the Imo State’s fund of about 40billion Naira was
unscrupulously built in a family name before our Godsent Governor Uzodinma
redeemed it for the entire Imolites.
In
addition, through his selflessness and dedication to serve his people
diligently, the Sen. Hope Uzodinma led administration has offset the humongous
debt owed to the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) by the previous administration.
This is done so the state government can focus its energy and resources in
developing the states and moving it to the next level.
The
State Civil Service has been revitalized. The Imo State Oil Producing Area
Development Commission (ISOPADEC) has been resuscitated. The oil producing
areas are now feeling the impact of a government in their states and many more
projects in health and educational sectors are being currently executed in
their communities. Like President Buhari said, his excellency the governor of
Imo State is implementing the APC manifesto in his state and this has gladdened
many Imo peoples’ hearts.
My
advise is that the All Progressives Congress hierarchy should guard this golden
egg of APC jealously so that he can continue to bring his experience and
truthfulness to bear in moving the All Progressives Congress family to the next
level.
Alhaji
Jemil Usman (The Young Alhaji), APC Chieftain Abuja, Nigeria.
