The trio spoke on Tuesday at the Government House Owerri when they paid a solidarity and working visit to the Governor.
Fielding questions from newsmen after the close door meeting with Governor Uzodimma, Nwodo who was the first to speak said they were proud of the Governor’s activities and the synergy between him and his brother governors from the South East and that they have no doubt the Governor will make Imo State and Ndigbo proud.

On his part, Chief Iwuanyanwu lauded the sterling leadership qualities of the Governor and said Governor Uzodimma has shown to be a great political bridge builder.
Chief Iwuanyanwu said he has been following Governor Uzodimma’s political journey and that he is impressed with his ideas anytime he has the opportunity of being at a meeting where the Governor is in attendance.

All the leaders were in agreement that Governor Uzodimma will make Imo, Ndigbo and Nigeria proud as governor.
In his response to the accolades, Governor Uzodimma said he was honoured and humbled to have such great sons of Igboland visit him and prayed God to accept their prayers concerning his public life.
