A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, Comrade Simon Ebegbulem, yesterday lauded Governor Hope Uzodimma for completing ‘world class projects’ within a short timeframe.
He described as not only comical, but disgraceful, some media reports that some of the roads to be commissioned by the president during his state visit on Thursday were being painted black, saying such attest to the lazy attitude of mindless critics.
The immediate past Imo State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry was reacting to what he described as a “false and wicked news” that the Onwa administration is painting roads to be commissioned.
His words: “How long do you think you can malign or discredit a popular administration? How many states has the president been to for commissioning of projects? Mind you, this is just Onwa’s (Governor Uzodimma) first term in office, yet he has been able to accomplish much and deliver on several verifiable projects, including road network; all first class.
“I can’t fathom over the height to which those feeding on falsehood will go in trying to discredit a popular administration that has achieved so much in a short period.
“Now, who paints roads? The people of the state remain solidly behind the Hope Uzodimma administration due to his developmental strides. These enemies of progress who have underdeveloped the state over the years are using their stupendous wealth to sponsor hatred and lies against the governor, but they always failed.
“It is unimaginable to see the level these characters will go in feeding fat on lies despite the monumental progress by the administration and this within record time.
“I urge all Imolites and Nigerians to come out to welcome President Buhari. It is no mean feat to have the president in our state to commission projects.”
