GOVERNMENT HOUSE, OWERRI
PRESS RELEASE
The governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has said that he has no interest in any ezeship aspirant and that it has not crossed his mind to favor any of them since he started the settlement of Ezeship tussle to restore peace in the communities.
Governor Okorocha who stated this while addressing newsmen at the Government House, Owerri explained that it was not pleasantry for ezeship tussle to reduce our communities to a battlefield.
He said that peace and progress has returned in those communities where their ezeship tussle has been settled, painting out that this will pave way for the Community Government Council [CGC] to create impact on the lives of the people.
The governor reaffirmed the commitment of his administration towards improving the quality of lives in our various autonomous communities through the provision of adequate security, motorable roads, uninterrupted water supply, qualitative and compulsory education and pointed out that it was by so doing that poverty will be eradicated.
Governor Okorocha congratulated those who have emerged as Eze-elects through the exercise and enjoined those who were not favoured to cooperate with the new Ezes with the spirit of sportsmanship.
He then called for the cooperation of all to enable his administration take the state to the peak of infrastructural development for improved standard of living.
