Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has reaffirmed the commitment of his administration in transforming the state into a model of good governance and economic prosperity.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Old DSS Road, now renamed Umar Ganduge Drive, the governor highlighted the successes recorded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in winning the hearts of Imo people through tangible developmental initiatives over the past five years.
This is contained in a statement issued on Thursday, by his Special Adviser on Public Enlightenment, Mr. Eze Ugochukwu.
“I can testify to you, Mr. Chairman that as a party, we have won the hearts of Imo people through our superlative performance in the last five years. The party has been fully entrenched here because the people can relate to our developmental initiatives,” the governor stated
Gov. Uzodimma emphasized that the once-thriving opposition parties in the state have faded away due to the visible progress brought about by the APC administration.
“What used to be an opposition or opposition parties in this state have all disappeared because the people can see tangible progress. They can see that they are no longer in the bush.
“The APC government in Imo State has brought the state back on track, and moving forward is progress, progress, progress,” he declared.
Reflecting on the state’s transformation, the governor recounted the challenges faced by residents before his administration took office. “If you had come to Owerri before I became the governor, you would appreciate the quantum impact we have made in the last five years,” he added.

The governor expressed pride in the APC’s leadership, vowing to continue delivering critical infrastructure and human capital development.
“This road we are commissioning today, is part of that commitment. We will not relent until we’ve taken our dear state to our dream destination, which is the enthronement of an industrial, self-reliant sub-national economy that will be the pride of all Imo people and indeed Nigeria,” Gov. Uzodimma said.
“We are trying to stimulate the economy. We are trying to restore the dignity of governance. We are trying to industrialize the state. We want to engage our young men and women,” the governor said.
He further revealed plans to establish an Imo Digital City, aimed at fostering innovation and job creation.
The statement added that Imo State will continue to witness unprecedented growth and development, stressing that the governor’s message resonates with hope and determination, and promising a brighter future for all residents.
