The member representing Onuimo state constituency in the Imo State House Of Assembly, Hon Chief Uba James Esile, has stated that the Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, earned his reelection into office through hard work and positive impacts in the state, in his first tenure, hence deserves to be undistracted.
The lawmaker who is also the founder of Fresh Air Movement in Imo state, disclosed this over the weekend during a chat with his Constituents in his country home in Umuogbuanu village Umucheke Okwe, Onuimo LGA.
He evaluated the 27 over 27 victory of His Excellency Dstinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma in the last election, describing it as a reward from the people for his good works, positive transformations in infrastructure, youth empowerment and unwavering commitment to recover, rehabilitate and rebuild the state and all that belongs to the state.
“The love and trust from the people were truly earned by Gov Uzodimma because his achievements are allover the place for people to see. And his determination and commitment, the zeal, the passion to do more is also visible for all to see. So, all the accumulated love from the people manifested in the 27/27 massive votes in the entire LGA, which was a history made”, Hon Esile explained.
Hon James Esile expressed confidence that the governor will consolidate on the gains and foundations of his achievements of first tenure in his second tenure and even do more.But urged the people of the state to rather support him in prayers, solidarity and other means rather being used as tools of distraction by career politicians who do not mean well for the state.
“Those who are still fighting the governor’s mandate in court are fighting not just the governor but the entire state and the Imo people at large. Also those who are already talking about becoming governor in 2027 in various guises should think twice and allow the governor to focus and continue his good works for Ndi Imo and stop distracting him at all levels. Because after now there won’t be another term for him to make a mark as governor and we all know that Gov Hope Uzodimma is really determined to make a mark for himself. Second term is a very critical term in office and I plead that His Excellency should be allowed to focus”
“Talking about Charter of Equity and expecting it to favour you, Equity means you support other zones when it is their turn, without fighting and distracting them. When you do so, they’ll give you same equal level of support when it’s your turn without fighting or distracting you. Equity means do to other zone what you’ll like them to do for you. You cannot fight equity and still expect to benefit from equity.”
The lawmaker , who is also the House Committee Chairman On Tourism, Arts And Culture, called on the entire Onuimo people to keep supporting the administration of the governor, expressing happiness over the massive votes given to the governor from the LGA. He told the people that the governor knows their major challenges which is their internal roads linking various communities. Owing to the fact that they’re predominantly farmers hence ndi Onuimo need their major rural roads to be in good shape to enable them transport their farm produce to other parts of the state.
On area of appointments, Hon Esile noted that, it remains the prerogative of the governor to select those he deem capable to steer the affairs of the state with, for the next four years. But be that as it may, Onuimo has capable men and women from the four major clans of Onuimo namely; Okwe, Okwelle, UmuduruEgbeaguru and Umuna, who are endowed with the requisite leadership experiences and technical know how to aide the governor fully achieve his visions. Hoping that the governor will look their way in the choice of who forms his next cabinet. He also stated that the take off Imo state university faculty of Engineering at Umuna, Onuimo LGA, for academic activities is another major problem the people of the areas seriously want the governor to solve for them. Worried that the abandoned structures there have indirectly posed a serious security threat to the LGA and neighboring LGAs. But he stated that he has no doubt that the governor will surmount the challenges to recover, rehabilitate and restructure all the dilapidated and substandard structures built by previous administration.
