APC governorship candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma has said Imo State is desperate of a new beginning.
He said his 5 point blueprint for economic survival anchored on the tripod vision of Recovery, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation are key elements to return Imo State on the path of good governance, rule of law and social jusice.
Unveiling his manifesto to key segments of the Imo society in Owerri, Uzodinma said Imo State is a critical juncture requiring fundamental reforms.
“You will agree with me that Imo state today is at a critical juncture requiring fundamental reforms. If there is any state in Nigeria that is desperate for a new beginning, it is Imo State. The reasons are self-evident:
“In the last eight years or more, we have witnessed the slow, steady but devastating decapitation of the core values that hitherto defined our collective enterprise otherwise Imo State. We watched in bewilderment and disbelief as an insipid culture of lawlessness, neo-feudalism crept into the body fabric of our state, threatening to destroy her cherished values. Posterity will hold us responsible if we allow this charade to continue unabated”
He said his administration will be committed to protect citizens’ fundamental rights, thus the need for a new Imo State that will restore financial discipline, entrench due process and conduct government business in the most ultra transparent fashion.
“We need a new Imo State that will recognize the critical role of local government councils play in downstream value chain creation. We need to urgently restore the autonomy and integrity of Local government administration in line with the constitution.
“We need a New Imo state that will enthrone an exclusive governance to ensure a new culture of shared prosperity in which the common wealth of the people is made available for the good of all” he said.
