The Obi of Obinugwu Kingdom in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State, spoke while congratulating Ihedioha on his election as the next governor of Imo State. According to the monarch, “civil servants, pensioners, business men and women, artisans and even the traditional institution, have reasons to thank God that Ihedioha is now coming on board as governor. The massive jubilation which preceded his formal declaration on Monday night was an eloquent testimony that Imo people earnestly seek Ihedioha’s administration.”
He said that Imo is in dire need of an administrator of Ihedioha’s pedigree, whom he said “is tested and trusted”. He argued that Ihedioha is exactly what Imo needs now to recover and rebuild her, pointing out that restoring Imo to her lost glory requires a person of sound mind and intellect like Ihedioha, who will place public interest above self.
“I have known Ihedioha for years. He is consistent, has the capacity and experience to fix Imo back. Our joy in Imo knows no bounds. I can vouch for his ability to transform the State,” Eze Ilomuanya posited.
The monarch assured the in-coming governor of the maximum support of the traditional institution in Imo State, stressing that he is optimistic that Ihedioha would assist in positively re-positioning the institution. “Everybody is aware of what is going on in our traditional institution today. Happily, Ihedioha being a true Igbo son, knows what to do” he said.
