It is no longer news that it was jubilation galore in Imo State in its entirety on Thursday 6th of May 2011 when Chief Owelle Rochas Okorocha, OON emerged victorious as the Governor of the State in subsequence to the supplementary election that took place at Oguta, Ngor-Okpala, Ohaji/Egbema, Owerri North and Mbaitolu LGAs due to the inclusiveness of the main gubernatorial election that was conducted on Tuesday April 26, 2011.
On that fateful day coupled with the days afterwards, the cripple were
jumping and the dumb were seen talking because they were of the view that Imo
State, the Eastern Heartland, had at last gotten a Messiah as a leader. No
doubt, the euphoric mood noticed among the electorates was not unconnected to
the free-education programme via the Rochas Foundation Colleges which Chief
Okorocha had sustained across the nation for several years.
To say the least; since Governor Okorocha has been at the helm of
affairs in Imo State, to the best of the knowledge of every right thinking
individual in the State, the masses that were agog when he emerged victorious
as the state Governor are still preoccupied with their usual mood of
excitement. This is as a result of the dividend of democracy they have enjoyed
from the onset of the ‘Rescue Mission’ dispensation; ranging from education to
health care delivery, security, road network, infrastructure, agriculture,
prompt payment of workers’ salaries/wages, pension matters, just to mention but
a few. Not forgotten the indelible programme of the amiable Imo First Lady,
Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha – the She Needs A Roof Project (SNARP) under the
auspices of the Women for Divine Destiny Initiative (WODDI).
In regard to this fact, some of the masses who could not hide their
feelings would say unequivocally that Rochas Okorocha has done virtually
everything he needed to do for Imolites; stating that, whatever the governor
has done in the state is visible unlike what was the case during the past
administrations. This is the reason the Commandant General of the Imo State
Civil Guard Corps, Hon Sir Donatus Ewe Ejifugha described the governor as ‘Ome
nke ahuru anya’.
No wonder the entire state was agog on Monday January 12, 2015 when the
Governor formally disclosed his interest to vie for a second term in office
under the aegis of the All Progressives Party (APC). On that historic and
epoch-making occasion, the people’s governor categorically stated that his
second term would focus mainly on industrialization and job creation since
other aspects have already been actualized during his first term.
Today Wednesday January 14, all roads would lead to Oru East Local
Government Area ably led by Honourable Prince Lasbery Okaforanyanwu, as the
governor – the Senior Advocate of the
Masses and the Commander of Free
Education accompanied by his able entourage is ready to visit the council
in line with his Rescue Mission Campaign Tour. The rally is expected to unfold
many things such as presentation of the party (APC) flag bearers to the people
of the area, addressing the youths of the area on their civic responsibilities
during the forthcoming general elections, among others.
As the indisputable Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, OON and his running mate Prince Eze Mmadumere, MFR visit Oru East today, we are using this avenue to appeal to every good spirited individual of Oru East origin who are pleased by the numerous charming achievements of the Rescue Mission as well as every leader of the council and all the officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Oru East Chapter including the traditional custodians, commercial drivers/motorcyclists, the youth, school children, the Nneoma Women Organization, and all the women groups in the area, the Booth Leaders, APC Youth Vanguard, and the APC Ward officials, to come out en masse.
I want to sincerely appreciate all the leaders of the council who have
been working relentlessly to ensure that the Governor’s visit becomes a success
such as Hon Prince Lasbery Okaforanyanwu and the Transition Committee
Councillors, Chief Sir Donatus Ewe Ejifugha – KSJI, Chief Bernard Nwananya,
Chief Chime Nzeribe, Hon Law Nwobodo, Dr Emma Ogbenta, Hon (Mrs) Nma Nzeribe
Michaels, Chief Romanus Egbuladike, Hon Nathan Udogwu, Barr Obinna Amagwula,
Chief Dr Nicholas Onwumere, Chief Nkenna Nzeruo, Barr Nicholas Nkendeme, High
Chief Calistus Ugoeze, Hon Alphonsus Onwumere, Hon Jude Opurum, High Chief Abu
Nnanna, Chief Augustine Onyedebelu, Barr Nelson Ezerioha, and Barr Evaristus
Duru. In the same vein, I want to commend Evang Esther Obong Egbuna and Mrs
Stella Udogwu who have been very supportive from the onset.
The People’s Governor, Ndi Oru East Na asi gi, Ijeoma oo!!
