The All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders from the 12 Local Government Areas of Orlu Zone have agreed to work to realize the reelection bid of Governor Hope Uzodimma on November 11.
The resolution was reached weekend at the stakeholders’ meeting of the zone held at the Orlu Local Government Council headquarters.
The stage for the resolution was set when Honourable Eze Ernest Okechukwu, member representing Ideato South State constituency moved a motion endorsing Uzodimma for second term which was unanimously supported by all the other stakeholders.
The motion was anchored on Uzodimma’s achievements in infrastructure, youth development and more importantly, the way he has handled security situation in the state.
The stakeholders reaffirmed their support for the second tenure bid of the governor, as well as aligning themselves with the implementation of the Imo Charter of Equity as recently proposed by members of the Imo State Council of Elders.
Speaking at the meeting, the Chief of Staff to the governor, Mr Nnamdi Anyaehie said the local government areas of Orlu were united and ready for the project, noting that “the orchestrated insecurity will in no way be an impediment.”
He said that the issue of insecurity is not peculiar to the state alone, noting, “Moreso , the governor has reduced the threats of insecurity to the barest minimum.
“Governor Uzodimma has capacity and what it takes to take Imo State to the next level,” adding that “he has come to rewrite the history of Imo State for good.”
He advised other contestants or pretenders in the governorship election of November 11 to have a rethink and wait for the charter of equity.
The deputy Speaker, Imo State House of Assembly, Honourable Amara Chyna Iwuanyanwu said that “come November 11 election, Orlu will deliver 100 percent to return the governor because he has performed.”
The member representing Ohaji/Egbema; Oguta and Oru-East Federal Constituency, Hon Eugene Dibiagwu in his remarks said “it is only a wicked man that will not vote Hope Uzodimma in the forthcoming election because he has performed well,” hinting that soon they will launch the Orlu Progressive Movement to power the reelection.
The Orlu APC zonal Chairman, Mr Kelvin Ugwu, the Imo State commissioner for Transport, Chief Rex Anunobi and Member representing Orlu in the State House of Assembly, Hon Ikenna Ihezuo, all spoke in affirmation with Ihezuo describing the Governor as “dynamic and reliable.”
According to them, “Hope was God sent to Orlu people because if Hope did not come to power it would have been concluded that Orlu people do not know anything about administration and can’t lead well.”
APC state secretary, Mr Greg Madu advised the Orlu Zone stakeholders not to underrate the opposition.
