From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri

The Imo State Director of City Boy Movement, Honourable Goodluck Nwaneri, has praised Governor Hope Uzodimma for naming the new International Conference Centre after the late former Ohanaeze President General, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

Nwaneri who made the commendation during a press briefing in Owerri, the Imo State capital on Thursday noted that Uzodimma’s decision demonstrates deep love and respect for Ndigbo and the people of Imo State.

The conference centre, now known as the Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (IICC), was commissioned by President Ahmed Tinubu during his recent working visit to the state.

He said “I want to thank the governor of Imo state, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma for naming the world class IICC after our great hero and father, late Chief Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Iwuanyanwu. For this singular act by the governor, he has proven that he respects the dead and has special love for Ndi Igbo and people of Ikeduru” .

Nwaneri who is also the founder of the Goodluck Nwaneri Foundation further eulogised the Governor on his massive road construction in the state as well as the newly commissioned Asumpta flyover linking the State to other parts of the South East .

He said “I want to applaud the governor on his massive road reconstruction in the state. Look when I say that the governor is reconstructing roads, you know what I mean, they are solid road that will stand the test of time.

“You can agree with me that our governor is a man of good taste. Just take a look at the new IICC, my brother, let’s tell ourselves the truth, this man called Uzodimma is a man of quality. Can you also see how solid all the roads have become. Those who ply Okigwe road should testify the good work our governor especially at Ekemele spot. That spot used to be a death trap but the governor came and proffered a lasting solution to it.

Speaking on the success of hosting the President and other top politicians during the launch of his book, Nwaneri said “You all saw what happened on Tuesday during the commissioning of some of his signature projects including the IICC. It takes a man of Uzodimma’s capacity to pull all the political whims and caprices in Nigeria including the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and over 24 APC governors to Imo state. My brother, this is no mean feat.

“I am an APC Chieftain and I will continue to support this government of Shared Prosperity in realization of all its goals. As the Imo state Director of City Boy Movement and Southeast zonal coordinator, I want to assure the Governor and President of my continued support both in completion of the governor’s tenure in 2028 and reelection of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

“Through my foundation, Goodluck Nwaneri Foundation, we will not relent on our efforts in curbing the spate of unemployment by engaging our youths, within our capacity, in some profitable jobs as a way of offering enabling hand to the government because, the governor cannot do it all.

“Finally, I want to thank Imo people especially members of City Boy Movement, NGC Group, etc who came out in their numbers to welcome the President on Tuesday during the commissioning of projects. I call on Imolites to continue their support for this government for I know that the governor in collaboration with the presidency is planning bigger things for Imo.” Nwaneri said.
