Gov. Okorocha's Recent Visit to Oru East LGA

THE RECENT GOVERNOR’S VISIT TO ORU EAST LGA (Aired Newstalk)


It is no longer news that on the 31st March, 2014, all roads led to Oru East Local Government Area situated in Oru Ancient Kingdom, in honour of the Governor Rochas Okorocha’s visit in respect to inspection of the ongoing projects in the area.

Prior to the day the governor arrived Oru East, the entire people of the council which encompass the elders, youths and children, were working assiduously and unrelentlessly to ensure that the long-awaited day becomes a success, not withstanding that, the event took place one week after the day being Monday March 24, 2014, it was formerly stipulated to take place. No doubt, this was due to the extreme love the good people of Oru East have for the governor, coupled with the impeccable passion they have for the Transition Committee Chairman, Hon. Barr. Obinna Amagwula.

Of course, the unquantifiable love the people of Oru East have for Governor Rochas Okorocha is not unconnected to how they unanimously waited patiently and persistently towards the arrival of the governor on that fateful day. In spite of the some hours delay encountered by the people in question, as a result of the staff of office that were being issued to the ninety (90) out of one hundred and three (103) elected Traditional Rulers from different Autonomous Communities in the state by the governor, the people eschewed any form of pessimism thereby remained steadfast till the governor arrived at some minutes past two in the afternoon owing to the fact that, they were waiting to receive the only performing governor.

One of the most remarkable things that transpired while the governor and his entourage were heading to the Oru East headquarters situated at Omuma, was that, the governor observed four stopovers at four different localities which include Umueme junction, Nichben junction, Umubochi junction and Awo-Omamma junction respectively, all in Awo-Omamma which is the town that leads to the council headquarters, due to the overwhelmed teeming crowd he encountered at the respective junctions.

As soon as His Excellency arrived the council headquarters – Omuma, he commissioned the gigantic befitting hall (Owelle Rochas Okorocha Hall) situated at the headquarters, which was named after the governor. The aforementioned hall built by the TC-Chairman, Barr. Obinna Amagwula and his amiable team, is not just a hall, but as well coupled with befitting office apartments and other laudable facilities.

The TC-Chairman, Hon. Barr. Obinna Augustus Amagwula, who commended the governor for making both the erection and completion of the Owelle Rochas Okorocha Hall successful through the magnanimity he showed to the people of Oru East, also pointed out that, the public Power Supply at the council headquarters which was in total blackout for over three years, was restored by his administration within his short stay in office.

In his speech, the governor who expressed his delight over the level of achievements recorded by the TC-Chairman, proudly announced to the people present that he has adopted the TC-Chairman in the person of Barr. Obinna Augustus Amagwula as his beloved son in whom he was well pleased; a statement that aroused unreserved applause from the gathering.

The governor, Chief Owelle Rochas Okorocha, having painstakingly enumerated all the projects taking place at Oru East which include the Millenium Development Goals’ projects, went further to categorically disclose the fact that, about 26.8km roads ranging from all nooks and crannies of Oru East which inculcate Awo-Omamma- Okwudor road, Umuokwe-Amiri-Omuma road, Oluoha-Omuma road, Akatta-Akuma road, Akuma-Amagu road, among others, had been awarded to various contractors; a disclosure that was to the people’s greatest surprise.

According to the governor, about #887 million has already been coughed up for the said contracts which worth a total sum of #1.611 billion. Each of the affected contractors present at the occasion was mandated to sign a surety expressing their readiness to complete their respective contracts within a short period of time. Also, the governor promised to go in search of those contractors who were not present.

Every dick and harry of Oru East who was present at the ceremony testified boldly to the fact that, it was really a memorable event, because they saw by themselves that the governor having proven to the people of Oru East that they were ranking number one in appointive positions in the state in appreciation to the fact that they were the people that made it possible for him to emerge as the governor of Imo State, is indeed a people oriented governor.

At this juncture, I want to sincerely appreciate all the leaders, youths and children of Oru East who contributed in one way or the other to ensure that that occasion became successful, such as Prince Marshal Okafor Anyanwu, Chief Engr. Chime Nzeribe, Hon. Donatus Ejimfugha, Evang. Esther Obong Egbuna, Dr. Emma Ogbenta, Chief Emodi Amagwula, Chief Dr. Nicholas Onwumere, Mrs. Nma Nzeribe Michael, Hon. Lawrence Nwobodo, Mrs Stella Odogwu, the Traditional Rulers, the Transition Committee members, of course most importantly, the ebullient Transition Committee Chairman who has written his name in gold and on the sand of time – Hon. Barr. Obinna Amagwula, and many other individuals and groups too numerous to mention.

Above all, I cannot conclude without mentioning the Senior Advocate of the Masses, Chief Owelle Rochas Okorocha – OON, who out of his kind heartedness thoroughly ensured that the occasion came to past by the special grace of God, despite all the challenges faced prior to the manifestation of the event.

One thing you must know for sure is that, even all the leaves in the bushes situated in Oru East and its environs are still rejoicing that Governor Okorocha visited Oru East in regard to inspection of the ongoing projects in the area, when a trustworthy and competent son of the council, Barrister Amagwula is piloting the affairs of the council; with the view that, Oru East in its entirety will soon become a place to reckon with.

Needless to say unequivocally; with Barr. Obinna Amagwula being in charge of Oru East while Governor Rochas Okorocha is piloting the affairs of Imo State, no doubt, would yield more immeasurable fruits in Oru East LGA. This is why every corner in Oru East cannot cease to wear a smiling face.

Governor anyi, Owelle ndi Imo, ndi Oru East na asi gi; Anyi so gi na azu oo!!
