The Imo State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Hope Uzodinma, has described Governor Rochas Okorocha as a huge disappointment, having failed in all fronts to implement anything in the manifesto of the party.

Senator Uzodinma expressed his dismay over Okorocha’s “woeful performance” in the state while addressing a crowd of supporters at Ngor Okpala Local Government Area during the party’s campaign on Friday.

His words: “It is regrettable that a local government like Ngor Okpala is left in the state it is despite its political resources in terms of votes. I know of an erosion site that has been here in Ngor Okpala for over a decade and yet our great party, the APC, has the best manifesto in terms of welfare of the people and infrastructure. Unfortunately the symbol of our party is a disappointment.”

Uzodinma stated that it is the major reason that could be account for the emergence of the coalition to retrieve both the party and the state.

He therefore promised to do the much he could to build roads that will stand the test of time in the local government.

In the area of employment, the guber candidate noted that it takes a leader who is gifted in creative thinking to be on the saddle. He assured the people of Imo State of employment opportunities for the teeming youths of the state promising that the state education curricullum would be reviewed to reflect the technical areas needed to provide solution in our today’s society.

Uzodinma also noted that it is not all about free education but “qualitative free education” that would ensure that our children compete favourably with their contemporaries at both national and international levels.

The Deputy Governor of the State, Prince Eze Madumere, who introduced Uzodinma to the people of Ngor Okpala, said that what matters at the moment is to ensure that the reign of impunity is dispensed with and good governance restored.

He called on people of good conscience “to unite with a view to bringing to an end impunity and restore confidence in the system”.

He assured the people that Uzodinma will adopt the international best practices in governance being not averse to advice and consultation.

On Owerri zone agenda, Madumere said that while the priority is hinged on recovering the state from the present family-driven government, Uzodinma can be trusted with the zone’s agenda, promising that the governorship candidate will deliver on it if given the support.
