Commissioner for Public Orientation and Religious Affairs, Hon. Anthony Ikechukwu Okonkwo, has assured that the reelection of Governor Hope Uzodimma is a reality, affirming that he had performed excellently in his first tenure and will do more when he is reelected.
Okonkwo gave the assurance for Uzodimma's reelection in the forthcoming governorship election in Imo State while having audience with journalists at his office in Owerri on Tuesday.
The Commissioner mentioned that Governor Hope Uzodimma has really performed well especially in terms of making civil servants to smile always by increasing their wages and paying them as at when due, the construction of quality roads in Owerri, Okigwe and Orlu Senatorial Zones of Imo State, improvement in electricity supply, youth rejuvenation through ICT skill training, formulation, implementation of good policies among other achievements too numerous to mention.
"Governor Hope Uzodimma is going for second tenure. It is an assured reality because his first tenure was good and no body can stop him. He has the grace of God. He has a covenant with God who has not disappointed him. His opponents should leave him to complete his good work. Politics is a vocation and not all persons should be into politics. There is need for politicians to have a positive change of mindset, as most politicians are suffering from amnesia. They should rather join hands with Uzodinma to move the state forward", Okonkwo maintained.
Okonkwo who said he liaises between the church and the state, stressed that "Hope Uzodimma is diplomatic, easily going, peaceful, loving and places God first in all he does. He scored 97.8 on security. Imo is living peacefully because the Governor is peace-loving, humane, generous and ideal. He has not disappointed anyone and he does not believe in sycophancy or pull him down. I clap for him for doing things extraordinarily. I will always support him as he reconstructs, rehabilitates and recovers Imo State".
Okonkwo said Uzodimma is far better than the former Governors of the state, Ikedi Ohakim and Rochas Okorocha who he described as accidental governors, adding that Uzodimma was made governor by God who he said the Governor cherishes so much.
The UK trained security expert thus called on Imo people to remain committed in their resolve to reelect Governor Hope Uzodimma for second term in office in order to consolidate good governance so that dividends of democracy, peace, security, hospitality, worship of God will continue to be hallmarks of the state.
