*A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE TO OUR VISIONARY GOVERNOR: SENATOR HOPE UZODIMMA*
Your Excellency,
On behalf of the entire State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, we extend our collective gratitude and appreciation to you, our able leader, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Odidika Uzodimma, the Executive Governor of Imo State, for your exemplary leadership, developmental vision, and unwavering commitment to the progress of our dear state and the consolidation of our party’s strength.
Guided by the experienced and focused leadership of the State Chairman of our great party, Hon. Dr. MacDonald Ebere, we, the executives of the Imo APC, proudly acknowledge the outstanding transformation that Imo State has experienced under your administration. Your Excellency, you have redefined leadership through action, not mere words. Your approach to governance, marked by prudence, inclusiveness, strategic planning, and the delivery of key projects, has elevated the standard of public service and positioned Imo as a model of effective state administration.
From the onset of your tenure, you clearly articulated a vision of “Shared Prosperity,” and we are proud to affirm today that your government has worked that vision into reality. The massive infrastructural renewal across the state, especially in road construction, urban renewal, and rural development, speaks volumes of your deliberate resolve to modernize and connect Imo communities. Signature projects such as the reconstructed Owerri-Orlu Road, Owerri-Okigwe Road, and the dualization of Owerri-Mbaise-Umuahia Road have become lifelines for trade, travel, and socio-economic interaction across Imo and beyond.
Beyond the roads, we have seen significant advancement in the rehabilitation of public buildings, schools, health institutions, and civil infrastructure across all 27 Local Government Areas. These interventions have brought government presence closer to the people and stimulated renewed confidence in public service delivery.
In the education sector, your administration has renovated and equipped hundreds of public schools, digitized registration and examination processes, and revitalized technical and vocational education, thereby empowering the next generation with quality education and skills for global competitiveness.
We are equally impressed by the positive strides made in healthcare delivery. The revitalization of general hospitals, procurement of modern medical equipment, and the Imo Health Insurance Scheme all demonstrate your commitment to ensuring that quality healthcare becomes accessible and affordable to every Imolite, regardless of location or status.
Your Excellency, you have shown uncommon courage and statesmanship in confronting security challenges, especially in this era of regional instability. Your commitment to restoring peace and order through collaboration with security agencies, the establishment of strategic task forces, and intelligence-driven interventions has brought hope and assurance to residents of the state. While challenges persist, no one can deny that your government is working round-the-clock to ensure the safety and security of lives and property.
We also appreciate your efforts in economic empowerment, especially for women and youths. Through programmes like the One Youth, One Skill Initiative, numerous young Imolites across the state have been trained, empowered, and supported to become self-reliant and contribute towards the economic development of the state. Similarly, your administration’s attention to women’s inclusion and support for female entrepreneurs is worthy of commendation.
The APC State Executive Committee is equally proud of the achievements of our party under your guidance. The huge, successful wins recorded during the last State and National Assembly elections, including your own election which saw you through your second tenure, and the recent Local Government Council elections, have placed the current party leadership under Sir MacDonald Ebere, Ph.D., as the most outstanding and successful executive in the history of our dear party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State since inception. These visible achievements cannot be mentioned without acknowledging your supreme role in making them a reality. Your tenure has not only strengthened governance but has deepened party unity, discipline, and relevance in Imo State. Under your watch, the APC has become the leading political force in the state, commanding grassroots loyalty, electoral victories, and increased membership.
We are grateful that party structures, from ward to state level, have been carried along in the governance process. Regular engagements, consultative meetings, and inclusive decision-making have brought stability and harmony within the party. Your administration has strengthened the operational capacity of the APC in Imo, ensuring that it remains strong, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of our people.
Through your support, we have witnessed:
-Smooth and peaceful conduct of party congresses and primaries.
-Appointment of party loyalists into strategic government positions.
-Enhanced synergy between party organs and government institutions.
-Increased visibility and presence of the APC in rural communities through empowerment programmes and political education.
Your Excellency, under your leadership, the APC in Imo State has also taken the lead in sensitizing the public on good governance, civic responsibility, and democratic values. Our engagements at the community level continue to inspire trust and loyalty from the electorate, thanks to your results-driven leadership style.
It is also important to highlight your bold step in producing and launching the Imo 10-Year Development Plan, a visionary document that charts a clear path to sustainable growth. As party executives, we are proud that our state, under an APC-led government, is embracing planning and long-term thinking that go beyond political cycles.
Your digitalization of revenue generation, anti-corruption reforms in the civil service, and prudent financial management have earned the state praise from national and international development institutions. Imo is gradually becoming an attractive destination for investors, with improved ease of doing business—thanks to your relentless efforts to build systems that work.
Your Excellency, the APC in Imo State is proud of you. You have shown integrity, courage, and clarity of purpose. You have managed to steer the state through turbulence and have emerged with results that speak for themselves. In the face of orchestrated distractions and unwarranted criticisms, you have remained focused, calm, and committed to delivering on your mandate.
As a party, we pledge our continued support and partnership with your administration. We will continue to mobilize, sensitize, and defend the vision of Shared Prosperity because it is a vision rooted in truth and results. We assure you that the APC family, under the leadership of our respected Chairman, Hon. Dr. MacDonald Ebere, will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that this administration succeeds to the very end and that the legacies of your tenure endure beyond this generation.
In conclusion, we say thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for standing firm for Imo. Thank you for making us proud as a party and as a people. May God continue to bless you with wisdom, strength, and favour as you lead Imo State to greater heights.
Long live Imo State!
