A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, High Chief Nduka Anyanwu, says Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state has recorded giant strides in the development of infrastructure and economy of the state in the last four years.
Chief Anyanwu who called on eligible voters in the state to vote massively for the governor on November 11, 2023, said the Uzodimma’s performances as governor dwarfed the performances of most former governors in the state.
According to him, “If previous administrations in the state had yielded to pressure to construct roads in the communities, the communities in the state would have all been developed by now.
“But this current state governor, Senator Uzodinma kept his earlier electoral promise to the people to construct the 29km Imerienwe/Upe/Obokwe/Etche Road, which had been abandoned for past 40 years and since the second Republic.

“Again, previous administrations had tinkered the idea but couldn’t lift a finger on it, but Governor Hope Uzodimma mobilized his contacts and goodwill, and today, the project is a reality,” the Abia party chieftain added.
Continuing, Chief Anyanwu who was also a member of the disbanded APC Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu/Shettima 2023 Presidency, stated: “The imo governor mobilized his contacts and goodwill to attract the construction of owerri-okigwe road, owerri-orlu road and owerri-mbaise/obowo/umuahia road, which are all federal highways.
“So, what the governor has done deserve commendation. Let me also tell you, Governor Uzodinma did not only get one of such roads but got three. And these democratic gains achieved by him deserved applauses from all and sundry in Imo state,” he posited.
The founding APC member also commended Uzodinma for his determination to embark on the oguta lake/orashi river fevelopment project, which according to foremost political juggernaut, would bring a seaport and a free trade zone.
Anyanwu described Governor Hope Uzodinma as a servant leader and authentic political pathfinder, saying the latter’s leadership style had redefined governance in imo state.
