Former governor of Imo State, Dr Ikedi Ohakim, at the weekend expressed delight at the scheduled visit of President Bola Tinubu to Imo State on Tuesday.
In a statement, Ohakim said the visit presents an invaluable opportunity for the President to witness first-hand the remarkable strides made by Governor Hope Uzodinma’s administration in infrastructural development, economic growth, and hospitality.
Ohakim listed the highlights of the visit, noting that Tinubu would commission several key projects, including the Owerri-Mbaise-Umuahia road, a new flyover, and improvements at the Assumpta Cathedral roundabout and the Ultra Modern Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre.
There would also be a presentation of a book authored by Governor Hope Uzodimma, chronicling the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) decade-long achievements in governance.
“This publication serves as a testament to the party’s commitment to progress and development,” Ohakim stated.
The former governor commended Governor Uzodimma, saying the governor’s visionary leadership and transformative initiatives have positioned Imo State as a model for good governance and infrastructural development in the Southeast region.
“The governor’s administration has not only enhanced the state’s economic prospects but also made it an attractive destination for investment and tourism,” Ohakim said.
He added: “The visit underscores the APC’s dedication to showcasing its achievements and reaffirming its commitment to the Renewed Hope agenda for Nigerians. By engaging with stakeholders in Imo State, President Tinubu aims to foster economic growth, strengthen public-private partnerships, and promote national development.”
Ohakim expressed optimism that the President’s visit will dispel baseless criticisms and reinforce the goodwill generated by Governor Uzodimma’s administration, even as he wished President Tinubu a memorable and productive visit to Imo State.
