The All Progressives Congress (APC), Imo State chapter extends her warmest felicitations to the good people of Imo State on the occasion of this year’s commemoration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The State Chairman of the party, Hon. Macdonald Kelechi Ebere, PhD, in a statement on behalf of the leadership of the party expressed gratitude to the people of Imo State for their unparalleled solidarity and support for the APC-led government of His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma.
According to the youthful and dynamic Chairman: “The Easter celebration heralded by Lent, offers us the opportunity to reexamine our lives, renew our faith in God and love for one another.
“Our party, after a painstaking review of the journey so far, considered it most expedient to use this opportunity once again to demonstrate our gratitude to the good people of Imo State, who have firmly stood with us every step of the way, in spite of numerous challenges.
“While we rejoice with Imolites at Easter, we equally wish to reaffirm the undivided commitment of the APC-led government of Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, to the realization of genuine aspirations and expectations of our people in line with the shared prosperity mantra of Recovery, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction.”
“The APC, therefore condemns in its entirety, the spate of insecurity and unprovoked attacks on notable party members in the state.
“Our party has noted with dismay the recent cases of insecurity and unprovoked attacks on her prominent members. It is worrisome how our members have suddenly become prime targets of what now has unarguably snowballed into full-blown politically sponsored attacks designed to eliminate, intimidate and harass APC party faithful.
“The party while reaffirming its support for the government in all its strategic steps to bring the ugly situation to a permanent halt and restore peace and stability in the state, advises those behind the despicable acts of arson and other heinous crimes to use the solemnity of Easter to seek God’s forgiveness and turn a new leaf, as no one has the monopoly of violence.
“The party commends Governor Uzodimma for the unprecedented infrastructural development, which his administration has brought to bear in the state.
“Some of the signature and life transforming projects of the government include but not limited to the ongoing reconstruction of Owerri-Orlu road, Owerri-Okigwe road; MCC/Uratta road, World Bank/Umuguma road; Nekede/Iheagwa road; Nguru/Umuneke Road; the completion of Dick Tiger, Chukwuma Nwoha, Relief Market and Ikenegbu ring roads; construction and rehabilitation of Onitsha/ Orlu road (Egbeada byepass), construction of Oparanozie/Amaigbo Street, reconstruction of Musa Yar’adua Drive Extension/reconstruction of Dreamland Hotel road, Construction of Okporo- Omuma road; construction and rehabilitation of Nkume- Umuowa Orlu, rehabilitation of Aba Branch/Ahiara Junction road; rehabilitation of Acharaubo Livestock Farm, Emekeku.
According to the Chairman: “With a selfless and goal-oriented Governor like Uzodimma, (who has clearly shown his disdain for primitive accumulation of wealth through inordinate conversion of scarce public resources to personal uses), in the driver’s seat of governance, Imo State will surely be recovered, rehabilitated and reconstructed.”
