Recently-sworned-in Governor of Imo, Emeka Ihedioha, has said, ex Governor, Rochas Okorocha’s government degraded several institutions the state have.
Gov Emeka described he past government as “debased and desecrated,” and then vowed to repair the damages by them and bring about a new era.
His words, “The outgoing administration degraded and destroyed most of our institutions and values.
“The legislature, the judiciary and the civil service, all suffered grievous assaults, with the House of Assembly made redundant and court orders routinely disregarded.
“But Imo State will, as always, endure. Imo will revive and prosper again.
“We urge you to be courageous in this conviction, for we are not captives of fear.
“We will not waste a day getting to work to renew the Imo promise of our founding fathers. Therefore, we will take appropriate measures to restore faith and confidence in government.
“I stand ready to personally interface and facilitate with any person or company willing to establish business in Imo. Together, we shall achieve the Imo of our dreams.
“Imo shall rise again,”
“Owerri is fastest growing city in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In 2011, no one could move out of their houses after 7.00 p.m., but today, Imo is secure and businesses are thriving.
“We raised the bar and the shoes are just quite big.”
