The
Governor of Imo State, Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha and former Deputy Governor
of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere have called on Imolites at home and in
Diaspora to come home and invest, saying that development in the state is
everybody's business.
Governor
Ihedioha made the call last Tuesday while commissioning a hospital with
state-of-the-art equipment, an ultra modern police station with barracks and
bottled water products factory built by Chief Ben Anachebe, Senior Advocate of
Nigeria, in Arondizuogu, Ideato North local government area of the state.
Responding
to the host admission that he did not support Ihedioha duringnhis governorship
campaign, he said;
"Like
my friend said he did not support me, it is the beauty of democracy. What is
important is that there is a government in place as made possible by God
Almighty and the good people of Imo State.
"Politics
has ended and we must all come together to rebuild our state. I am here support
Chief Anachebe for the worthy projects. I must commend him and the contractor
that because they were well finished.
"This
is also a clarion call to other sons and daughters of our state, I will ever
encourage everyone who is embarking in any project that will bring about
development and create jobs in our state.
"I
have more of Ideato people in my government and because this is because I
believe in one invisible entity called Imo state and such politics is not part
of me.
"You
may recall that it was here that kick-started the first project of my
administration where I had to pay N500 million to manage erosion devastation in
the Ideato. Uruala Erosion project will cost N9.9 billion and we ensured that a
reputable construction firm in handling it.
"Rural
Road construction work has also started. We have five major roads that are
under construction at the moment and they are economically important as it will
aide our people but in agriculture, cottage industries and other socio-economic
activities.
Meanwhile,
the former Deputy Governor, Prince Madumere in the same vein commended
Anachebe's effort, describing it as patriotic and encouraging.
"I
believe in investing at home. What the legal icon has done is not new to most
of us because he has always thought towards home and has taken steps to
demonstrate his belief in building from home.
"Just
look around and you will agree with me that he did not spare resources to bring
the best to his place. He understands the importance of security and evaluating
what he did in the police station project, it depicts his high regards for our
security agencies.
"The
hometown Hospital is one project I love, brining the state-of-the-art equipment
for intensive care for his people at the community level is commendable. It is
a clarion to all of us whether at home or in Diaspora.
