Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has stated that his
recent triumph at the Election Petition Tribunal that sat in Owerri is
a clear indication that God has liberated the state from the grip of
corrupt leaders.
Speaking at the Imo Day cultural Carnival organized by Imo State Towns
Development Association Lagos (ISTDAL) held at National Stadium,
Lagos, Gov. Okorocha reiterated that his victory was divine as such
designed to rescue the state.
He reaffirmed that his administration will be corruption-free, even as
he disclosed that all the leakages through which the state funds were
drained by the past administration had been closed up to pave way for
meaningful development in the state.
The governor, who seized the opportunity to give account of his
stewardship, added that his administration will always thrive to
ensure that dividends of democracy spread to all nook and cranny of
the state.
He commended Imo indigenes in Lagos for displaying the rich cultural
heritage of the state and Igbo nation and further enjoined them to be
part of the forthcoming Imo Cultural Carnival.
Earlier in his address, the President General, Imo State Towns
Development Association (ISTDAL) said time up to embrace the public
private partnership to give opportunities for indigenes to participate
in the development of the state.
