The Imo State governor, Owelle
Rochas Okorocha has promised to build 27 new factories in Imo State in order to
boost the State’s economy and create employment for her teaming youths if he is
re-elected as governor in 2015.
He made this promise last week during
a campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at Egbu and Nekede
respectively.
In addition, he promised to commence
the construction of a number of roads in Owerri-North and Owerri-West LGAs in
the 1st quota of the 2015 as part of efforts to ensure that every
community in the State enjoy dividends of democracy within the life of the
Rescue Mission administration. Some of the roads include: Emii road, Obibiezena
– Imerienwe road, Nkwo Emeke – Umucham road, Isiuzo – Afor Egbu road in Owerri
North and Umuguma – Okuku road, Umuguma –Avu – Oforola road, Okolochi –
Emeabiam road Orogwe –Ndegwu road in Owerri West, among others.
The governor maintained that his
administration has within 3 ½ years, delivered on its election promises but
regretted that the heavy rains experienced in 2014 had greatly hampered
construction of more roads and assured that priority will be placed on
construction of those roads. “The bad roads you saw yesterday; you shall see
them no more”, he declared.
While urging the people to vote
candidates of the All Progressives congress in the forth-coming elections, the
governor pointed out that PDP and other opposition parties do not have reason
for coming into power considering the legacies recorded by APC in Imo in just 3
½ years.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor,
sir Jude Ejiogu, a former Commissioner for Industry and Non formal Sector, Lady
Ugochi Nnanna Okoro and some stakeholders in Owerri-North and West gave
testimonies of the achievements of the APC led administration in the area and
enjoined all to support the party.
One the beneficiaries of the medical
support programme of the Imo Foundation, Rev. (Dr.) Isaac Uba from Owerri North
could not hold his joy in thanking governor Okorocha for sponsoring his heart
surgery and kidney transplant in an Indian hospital through the Foundation.
Highlight of the rally was the
introduction of APC flag bearers for the area. The aspirants include: Hon.
Chukwuemeka Lloyd and Victor Onyewuchi for owerri North and West House of
Assembly seats; Engr. Chuks Ololo for Owerri North and West federal
constituency seat and Barr. Uche Onyeagocha for Owerri zone Senate.
