PROTOCOLS



Your Excellency, I’m so delighted to present this speech before your presence in this historic and epoch-making occasion. I’m indeed deeply pleased to have you in our midst today.

It is no longer news that you are in Oru East to commission the ultra-modern house you built for one of us under the aegis of the Phase-III of the She Needs A Roof Project (SNARP), which your Excellency just concluded a while ago in all the existing Local Government Areas in Imo State. We have not forgotten the one you commissioned sometime ago at Ezi-Awo I autonomous Community in Awo-Omamma.

This programme (SNARP) was solely initiated by you, due to your undiluted passion to ensure thorough eradication of shanty huts through the construction of befitting bungalows for the poorest of the poor and the downtrodden in Imo State, most importantly the indigent widows and orphans.

Without mincing words and with all-manner of sincerity, in the history of this state, this would be the very first time we would witness such capital intensive project duly oversees by a First Lady. You have really proven to us beyond any reasonable doubt that your love for the good people of Imo State and Oru East in particular remains indisputable and relentless, just like that of a mother to her beloved children in whom she is well pleased. We sincerely promise you that we shall live to remember this uncommon generosity.

Honestly Ma, we the good people of Oru East gathered here today, lack the appropriate word we could use to express our joy having counted us worthy to benefit from this remarkable and conscience-driven programme widely known as She Needs A Roof Project (SNARP). Needless to say that, we are humbled to be your host in regard to this ever-charming initiative that has granted your Excellency a well-deserved name, “Eji Ulo Eme Ogo”.

Your Excellency, we immensely pray that posterity will never cease to remember you and your entire household owing to the fact that, many have been enriched with eternal happiness as a result of the indefatigable magnanimous gesture you have been showcasing to the needy and the less-privileged in our midst; which is not unconnected to the Rescue Mission Agenda of your darling and lovely husband, His Excellency Owelle Rochas Okorocha.

I want to use this avenue to appreciate all of us who found time to embrace this wonderful and memorable event, most especially the leaders of this council and the traditional rulers. We have proven to our First Lady that indeed, She is in our hearts. I also want to commend everyone who contributed in one way or the other to ensure that this ceremony becomes a success.

Once again your Excellency; Eji Ulo eme ogo, we the entire people of Oru East LGA wish you and your able entourage a safe trip back to your respective destinations.

Thank you all!
