The Spokesman of a registered socio-political organization known as “Imo Patriots” Hon.Chief Igwekala Ugommaduefula, was on last Saturday, June 6th 2020, in Owerri, extolled the leadership capacity of the Imo State Governor, Sen.Hope Uzodinma, in all ramifications.
Speaking to newsmen in a swift interview, the Imo Patriots, Hon.Igwekala, disclosed that his association stands tall to ensure the benefits of all Imo people even as he noted that their organisation is poised to support the current govt.of Gov.Hope to succeed.
“We have already drummed our collective support to the govt.of the day in Imo State under Sen.Hope Uzodinma. We shall continue to roll out our support for 3R’s leadership mantra. We only encourage good governance and critically condemn bad leadership as long as Imo State is concerned”, Igwekala submitted.
While speaking, Imo Patriots spokesman revealed that apart from been into patriotism, that he have known Sen.Hope Uzodinma since 2003 during his earlier Imo Guber aspiration, but thanked God for making Uzodinma’s gubernatorial ambition a reality.
He therefore expressed satisfaction and optimisms that Imo State under Gov.Hope would be better, even as he
described the Governor as a man with native sense to governor the state.
The Spokesman, however assured Imolites especially those from the Oil Producing Communities to have patient with the Governor, whom according to him is poised to take Imolites to their long expected promise land.
He more so described Gov.Hope as a pure replica of the former Imo Governor, Late Dee Sam Mbakwe of the blessed memory.
“With Governor Uzodinma,there will be more infrastructural development, more construction of rural-urban roads, youths employment/empowerment, quality education, security of lives/properties and enabling environment to foreign investors to strive”, Igwekala noted.
The Spokesman in his continues words, commended the Governor for the cancellation of former Governors, Deputies, Speakers, Deputy Speakers governorship pensions.
In his continues bids,Chief Igwekala, who hails from one of the Oil Producing Communities of the state, appealed to the Governor to ensure that a notable man with multiple leadership capacities is like the Traditional Prime Minister of Ohaji/Egbema Kingdom, High Chief Charles Orie, (Akuatuegwu), an illustrious son of Umuokenna Ohaji is appointed as the Managing Director of Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, ISOPADEC.
” Yes, Charles Orie is man who is highly respected. Very generous in giving to all and sundry. He reaches the poor and the down trodden in Ohaji, Egbema and Oguta LGA’s. We are fully in support of his nomination and we are very hopeful that he would be appointed by the Governor as the MD of ISOPADEC.
With Orie as MD, Ohaji, Egbema, Oguta, Oru-Nation and all the Local Governments in Imo State will benefit immensely from the dividends”, Imo Patriots Spokesman prayed.
He blamed all the previous Governors of Imo State for allegedly appointed unqualified persons and mediocres as ISOPADEC MD’s, but thank God today, under Governor Uzodinma, persons with integrity like Chief Orie who is very contented like the Governor would be appointed to pilot the affairs of ISOPADEC.
“Chief Orie is rich and wealthy already. He is coming to work/serve and not coming to loot. He is coming to enrich the masses. We are happy with him. Orie is the only man standing very qualified for the position of ISOPADEC MD. We are requesting the Governor to appoint him”, the Spokesman hinted.
