Speaking to the congregation after the Feast of Christ the King Pontifical High Mass at the Government House Chapel in Owerri on Sunday, the Governor reiterated his pledge to fulfil the covenant he made with God to transform the state.
Governor Uzodimma expressed his gratitude for the support of the people, especially in light of recent federal government policies, and assured that his administration is focused on leaving a lasting legacy.
He outlined key goals such as ensuring daily sustainable power supply, improving infrastructure, and enhancing quality education and healthcare for the people of Imo.
“I want to be remembered for creating prosperity and bringing dignity back to Imo State,” the Governor said.
He noted the recent achievement of Imo State coming first in the National Digital Skill-up programme in Abuja, a testament to his administration’s progress.
Uzodimma also boldly asserted that he would leave office without fear, stating that no one would be able to bring any wrongdoing against him.
He invited anyone with evidence of misconduct to come forward, reaffirming that he would leave office “a free man” with a clear conscience.
The event was attended by prominent figures including Deputy Governor Lady Dr. Chinyere Ekomaru, Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Chike Olemgbe, and Senator Patrick Ndubueze, among other state officials and dignitaries.
In his homily, Bishop Thomas Obiatuegwu of the Orlu Catholic Diocese called on Christians to embrace the teachings of Christ and love one another as He did.
