In a statement on Thursday, the lawmaker lauded Uzodimma for “championing issues that will develop the southeastern region.”
He said, “Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has for years been playing a frontline role in ensuring that the South-East takes its rightful place in Nigerian politics, and he has strategically pooled resources together to think out of the box on possible ways of solving age-long problems bedevilling the southeastern states.
“His relentless pursuit for South-East development led to the speedy completion of the Second Niger Bridge. Insecurity has significantly reduced in the region owing to his innovative approach to the problem.” According to the statement, the lawmaker also commended Uzodimma for convincing members of the National Assembly from the South-East region to endorse Godswill Akpabio and Tajudeen Abass as the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively.All rights reserved.
