In his remarks, Mr. Okey Ezeh thanked his kinsmen for finding time to attend the meeting despite the crowded schedules of the festive period.

He added that the living conditions of Imo people can no longer be tolerated, lamenting that the State has been very unfortunate with leadership, but assured that 2019 would bring that to an end.
Mr Ezeh decried that the State currently comes 25th in economic viability indices, worried that if steps weren’t taken now, the State would be in for more precarious years ahead.
