Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, says the requests of the
people of the state will be “treated expeditiously” by the Federal Government
because the state has “heavyweights” like the President, Muhammadu Buhari and
Senate President Ahmad Lawan as friends.
The governor, who belongs to the ruling All Progressives
Congress as Buhari and Lawan, stated this on Friday when the Senate President
visited Imo to inaugurate some road projects.
Uzodinma named of the roads after a former Senate President
and former governor of the state, the late Evan Enwerem.
At the event, the governor said, “Today, the Senate
President, Distinguished Senator Ahmed Lawan and his Colleagues are physically
present to witness the harvest of these roads which were done within our one
year in office.
“A few weeks ago, our great Leader President Muhammadu
Buhari flagged off the commissioning of the roads. Last Tuesday, the Vice
President also honoured us with his presence to commissioned Dick Tiger road
and Dick Tiger Street.
“The visit of the
Senate President as the head of the legislature is significant because it shows
the synergy that exists in the APC government between the executive and the
legislature.
“For us in Imo State, we are lucky to have these
heavyweights as our friends, meaning that our requests from the centre shall be
treated expeditiously.
“Beyond that, however, the shared prosperity agenda of our
administration encourages collaboration with sister governments and other arms
of government to ensure the rapid development of our state.”
The governor also lamented that some detractors through
“untoward actions in the last few days have tended to slow down the activities
of our government. But nothing can actually stop us from getting to our
destination”.
“Our destination is to make Imo a better place for all
residents while providing basic amenities and services as well as deepening
democracy generally. We are more than ever resolved to implement faithfully our
programme of rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery,” he reassured the
people of the state.
