…As IRM Wraps Up Zonal Tour
By Ebube Mbah
An independently organised group known as Ihedioha Re-election Movement has wrapped up her zonal consultative tour across the nine local government areas of IMO State. The tour which kickstarted with Ezinihite LGA, touched Ahiazu Mbaise, Aboh Mbaise, Ngor Okpala, Mbaitolu and Ikeduru LGAs. The ship of the movement also sailed to Owerri North, Owerri Municipal and anchored at Owerri West.
Leading the movement, the convener, Sir Bon Unachukwu reeled out the numerous achievements of Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha during his short stint as governor of Imo State for seven months. He noted that Imo state experienced a positive touch in sectors like Education, Health, Finance, Economy, Infrastructure, Security among others.
“When Ihedioha was governor, many people didn’t have need to relocate or even visit the urban cities because the local governments were functioning, and local economy was booming. His government brought good governance closer to the people in the rural areas, this is what government is all about,” he stated.
Other speakers during the tour which includes the Secretary of the Movement, Chief Henry Ekpe, former members of Imo State House of Assembly Hon Oliver Enwerenem and Chief Mike Iheanaetu also stated that the reason why majority of Owerri Zone people are seeking for Ihedioha to be re-elected is because he is the best bet that can rescue Imo State from the maladministration of the ruling APC.
“When it time for popping champagne or swindling activities, we know those to call; but when it is time for governance and serious business, we look for people like Ihedioha. When it is time for serious contest, people step in their best foot; in this case, Ihedioha is our best foot and we are urging him to answer this clarion call,” these were some of their statements.
