The governor of Imo state, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodinma has in every sincerity pleaded with the people of the state to accept peace and has at the same time sympathetized with the bereaved familes of those affected by the attacks in the state.
While speaking to Ndi Imo in his broadcast, the governor promised to immortalize those affected by the attacks launched on the state by Hoodlums.
Uzodinma however reassured the state that the people are breathing a fresh air of peace and tranquility coupled with law and order being maintained by all and sundry.
He has maintained that this is a pointer that normalcy has been restored and people can now go about their lawful businesses as usual.
In the video posted by 9News Nigeria few minutes ago, stated that the report from security agencies in the state brings to finality any threat to the security of the people as they punctuated their reports with a charge to continue our usual night life activities- the crux of the ngwori lifestyle of Owerri people.
The governor stated clearly that, In the course of restoring peace some persons fell victims either through stray bullets or security operatives who paid the supreme prize of deaths in the course of their duty.
It is on this premise that Gov. Hope Uzodimma during the 2021 Democracy Day stakeholders luncheon expressed that these martyrs of peace have been acknowledged while he prays for the peaceful repose of their souls and declared that they will be made heroes. A move that extols the leadership extraordinaire of the Governor and a man with human conscience.
This declaration is coming after the Governor had announced the cash compensation of 5million naira to the victims families. It may not be about the compensation but a sincere appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifices and assures their families of governments determination to immortalize them.
This singular move by Gov. Hope Uzodimma has endeared him to the heart of imo people and earned him respect too. Imolites are now happy over the peaceful atmosphere in imo state which is occasioned by the pragmatic leadership of the state governor.
Recall that this humble declaration is coming after the Governor had announced the cash compensation of 5million naira to the victims families and again he has promised to immortalize those who were affected in the attack.
It may not be about the compensation but a sincere appreciation and gratitude for their sacrifices.
Imo is indeed hopeful that governor Uzodinma is working to make the state a better home where, peace, safety, security and businesses will thrive.
But the controversy has been the politicial class which houses the opposing force and Imolites are wondering if the Politicians can allow this peace to reign or wouldn’t there be a better Imo with GOVERNOR UZODINMA?
Meanwhile, the people are happy for this gesture of GOV. HOPE UZODIMMA TO MAKE VICTIMS OF IMO ATTACKS AS HEROES.
