Governor Hope Uzodimma has reiterated his earlier promise to conduct Local Government election, saying doing so is critical to bringing back development at the rural level.
He gave the indication of a soon to be held local government election in Imo State when he had an interaction with leaders and members of some political structures loyal to him on Tuesday night.
The political structures – Camp Hope; Imo Hope for Good Governance; and Hope Rising for Imolites – were at the Sam Mbakwe Executive Chambers, Government House, Owerri to express their continued solidarity to the Governor.
Addressing the members, Governor Uzodimma noted that having been with him since he showed interest in becoming the Governor of Imo State he will not disappoint them now that he is governor.
Uzodimma said he remains grateful to those who worked with him to come to the level where he is today and that he will show them reciprocity, “having been patient all this while, committing their human and material resources.”
He said that their coming together is to get more people involved in the APC project in Imo State and let them work for Imo people as foot soldiers of HOPEISM.
In his own contribution, Pst. Chris Mbarie, the leader of Imo Hope for Good Governance informed the Governor that he has tried to re-orientate his group to embrace members of Camp Hope and Hope Rising for Imo Governance “as members of one family for a better support and solidarity to their leader, Governor Hope Uzodimma.”
He added that the essence of the synergy and coming together is for them to have people in good number that can push their aims and objectives and realize their aspirations of moving APC to a greater height.
Mbarie thanked the Governor for persuading the three groups to come together and become one United front.
In the same vein, the Leader of Hope Rising for Imolites, Barr. Success Obioma told the audience that they have agreed to use the groups as a formidable force to support the Governor towards good governance in Imo State.
He assured that henceforth “the three groups are an indivisible family, bound together by their focus on their leader, Uzodimma, in getting to the promise land.”
