YOWICAN described Uzodimma as one of the most transformational leaders in the south-east and a \u201cpillar of the Igbo nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Belusochukwu Enwere, president of YOWICAN, said in a message on Friday that Uzodimma had redefined governance in Imo state.<\/p>\n
He said the governor had earned recognition as one of the leading champions of Igbo renaissance.<\/p>\n
Enwere said Uzodimma\u2019s commitment to development, security and unity aligned with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
His words: \u201cGovernor Hope Uzodimma is not just the governor of Imo state; he is a stabilising force and a dependable pillar of the Igbo nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt 67, he stands tall as a transformational leader who has brought renewed hope, infrastructure rebirth and restored peace to Imo state.\u201d<\/p>\n
YOWICAN said Uzodimma had shown courage and determination in repositioning Imo state for sustainable development.<\/p>\n
It cited infrastructural projects and fiscal reforms aimed at reviving the state\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
Enwere said the state had witnessed a turnaround in road construction, digital public services, investment policies and empowerment initiatives.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cToday, Imo state is no longer the state of despair and infrastructural decay it once was. Governor Uzodimma has transformed Imo into a construction hub.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the governor had strengthened security through coordination with security agencies and community leaders.<\/p>\n
He said the state had regained calm after periods of attacks by criminal groups, adding that Uzodimma\u2019s influence extended beyond Imo state.<\/p>\n
The group said the governor had championed Igbo interests, national unity and regional integration, describing him as a bridge-builder committed to ensuring that the Igbo people take their rightful place in national politics.<\/p>\n
YOWICAN congratulated the governor and urged him to sustain his reform-driven leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn this auspicious 67th birthday, we celebrate a leader with uncommon determination, a man who embodies renewed hope for the Igbo nation and Nigeria at large,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
