“I wish to congratulate you, on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, for a well-deserved resounding victory at the governorship election held in Imo State on Saturday, November 11, 2023,” the statement read.
“In the past three and a half years as the Governor of Imo State, you have made a very impressive progress in the area of infrastructural development. You equally made remarkable progress in education, health and youth development.
“Above all, the project for the dredging of Oguta Lake to the Atlantic Ocean which Imo State Government under your leadership is executing in partnership with the Nigeria Navy is indeed a beacon of hope to all the people in the South East of Nigeria who are anxiously expecting commercial and industrial transformation of Igboland.
“By this election in Imo State, all the five states of the South-East have got democratically elected Governors.
