Speaking at a thanksgiving service to mark his 63rd birthday anniversary on Sunday in Owerri, Gov. Uzodimma said he cannot use his office for self-enrichment or that of his friends and relations.

According to him, forceful take-over of public and private property obtained during the administration of former governor, Rochas.

Governor Uzodimma recalled meeting a daunting situation on assumption of office two years ago, but thanked God that “through concerted efforts of my administration and the dogged efforts of my team who were selfless and dedicated, the narrative is gradually changing.

“Imo State once more belongs to Imo people, as infrastructural provisions are far better today than in past two years.”

He regretted the ugly issues that greeted his administration at inception such as   the COVID-19; EndSARS; and worst of it all, the insecurity that is heightened by the activities of the unknown gunmen, as setbacks that had retarded the wheel of his administration’s progress and speed.

The governor expressed gratitude to God that his administration has been able to contain the situation and warned the perpetrators of the heinous crimes of banditry and bloodletting in the state to desist or be ready to face the full weight of the law and the wrath of God.

He reiterated the readiness of his administration towards the recovery agenda, insisting that he will stop at nothing in making sure that all looted property of Imo people are all recovered.

He pledged to be honest and not betray the trust reposed in him by Imo people, assuring that “in the coming days, government will roll out all its paraphernalia to ensure that the interest of Imo people will continue to be the primary concern of government.”

In his remarks, elder statesman, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu commended the governor for writing the book entitled; “Reflections on the Igbo Question”.

He said it was reflective of Governor Uzodimma’s sincere approach to the governance of Imo State, particularly as regards keeping promises he has made to Imo people.

Also speaking, the Deputy Governor of the state, Prof. Placid Njoku described his principal as “an all round personality, a man of many positive parts who has come to honestly serve God and man” and wished him many more years ahead.
