“With Ihedioha as Imo Governor, my life has been added for many more years. Hunger will not kill the people of the state. Youths must be gainfully employed, empowered and meaningfully engaged. Salaries of workers, arrears of pensioners, quality education, good roads, quality infrastructures would be seen in the govt. of Rebuild Imo Mission”, Iwuanyanwu submitted.

 

Chief Ahaejiagamba, who is also the State Chairman of Imo State Elders Council, furthermore expressed optimism that the govt. of Dr.Ihedioha will sure wipe away tears from the eyes the Imo people, even as he called on Imolites, especially those at home and diaspora to support and encourage the Rebuild Imo Mission to succeed.

“We shall help you rebuild our state. A lot of challenges are waiting for you. You have made the first step of successful administration. Imo shall arise. We would set up an enclave economy. We will make sacrifices for the development of the state”, TTC Chairman disclosed.

 

 

Adding his voice, the former Imo Chief Judge, Justice Paul Onumajuru, also expressed optimism that the leadership of Ihedioha would make Imolites to rejoice.

 

He said ” today is a great day. Now that you, Ihedioha has started work, we shall work with you. You are not sectional. You have shown that you are not going to carry Imo people along. Your struggle did not start now. You have started well and as such you are going to achieve successes”.
