We Have Overwhelmed Opposition Forces Causing Insecurity In Imo — Uzodimma

The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has said that his administration in collaboration with security agencies has overwhelmed opposition elements who had sworn to make the state ungovernable.

In his New Year message on Saturday, Uzodinma said the government would continue to work with security agencies to make the state safe in 2022.

The governor has repeatedly blamed the opposition for the killings in Imo State.

“We are happy that despite the distractions from the opposition and criminal elements, the administration had recorded giant strides in all sectors of development in the state.

“My administration is also determined to give practical effect to its recovery programme by ensuring that all looted assets of the state are recovered.

“The recovery of the state’s KO Mbadiwe University worth N40billion from a former governor and the Shell Camp land was aimed at safeguarding the assets of the state."

He called on the people to join forces with the government to stamp out violence and other forms of criminality bedevilling the state.

"We are calling on the citizens of the state to support the government to work for the peace and progress of the state.

“They should resolve this year to engage only in actions that would enhance the peace and stability of both Imo state and Nigeria," the governor said.
