"I will govern with the fear of God and not the fear of man...One important thing is that, I do not forget those who were there for me when I needed them...I will use the position for the people and not for myself"

#QUOTE:

"Whatever made me to earn your support was based on general interest; it was not an individual interest and when I knelt down to ask God to help me become the governor of Imo State, I swore to him in a covenant that if I become the governor, I will use the position for the people and not for myself. 

"Now, God has made me the Governor. He has done his own part. It is now left for me to do my own part. Let no man make me violate that covenant.  All I ask is that we must work as a family. We are one family. We can justify fighting when we are struggling, we can justify hate when we are not together, we can accuse ourselves of one form of acrimony, grievance or the other. So I ask, why are we struggling to get to a destination now that God has answered our prayer?

"The truth is that I will govern with the fear of God and not the fear of Man. 

"So when you are not happy about one request or the other, if you go home ask your conscience, "This my request, is it godly or not? If it is godly and I refuse to do it, then let my conscience judge me. However, if your request is something that will contravene the oath of office taken by me then it means that you're not wishing me well. 

"I know that even in a family, we have sibling rivalry, because brothers quarrel among themselves and they also disagree but it is always good that after your disagreement - its important you agree. Remember nothing last forever. 

"One important thing is that, I do not forget those who were there for me when I needed them. 

"Most times our people fight over what they don't need. You have something big and you don't want another person to get something small and yet we are from the same place. 

"God is my witness that I came here prepared and if we have the time and the resources, there will be no reason for anybody to be angry unless for the greedy ones. The truth is that we have enough space to accommodate everyone. 

"You have to know that the man in authority is almost the loneliest man on earth because he is always besieged with different problems of the people that he may not even have time for himself. But if you help me to organise our place then the barrier is almost off. I will not be the footballer to score goal and then still be the one to man the post.  When we all do what's our obligation, we go home on time. 

"Nobody can dictate to me what anyone get. This is because we don't do all we do to please man but to please God before pleasing anybody. 

"So we are going to restore Imo State to the best of our ability. I do not care about propaganda and the ugly news on social media. The truth is that even the blind will see the projects that Hope Uzodimma has done in Owerri. Anybody that refuses to recognise our giant stride in projects, then that person might not see again. 

~ Governor Hope Uzodimma.

IMO STATE PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT Safety and security is vital to prosperity in any community - Governor Uzodimma has not abdicated his responsibility to anybody By: Prince Eze Ugochukwu. In developed countries, local authorities normally go beyond the normal defence and policing structure to embrace and incoporate the citizens as part of the security architecture, working closely together across all areas that contribute to security. Only last week, the Imo State Governor interfaced with Traditional Rulers,Town Union President Generals and community youth leaders in a new, systemic approach to security that broadens participation. Although security is a core task of governments, it can’t be achieved in isolation. It needs to be viewed holistically, with governments taking the lead in encouraging, and nurturing collaboration across all institutions, sectors and divides in order to deliver the security that is vital. And this is exactly what the Governor has put together i...
