Hon Emeka Nwulu who was the Deputy Governorship canadiate of the Labour Party (LP) in the November 11, Imo state governorship polls has asserted that Governor Hope Uzodinma has abandoned governance and relocated to Abuja after he was inuagurated for a second term in office last month.
He said that the state is currently in a situation of uncertainty due to the absence of Governor Uzodinma, who has been out of the state for more than 30 days. Additionally, he did not delegate authority to his deputy or create a state executive council.
“With the governor missing in action for the past 30 days, the state is left directionless and devoid of leadership.”
“There is no government in Imo State in the past 30 days. And we wonder how the State can function without appointees and the governor absconding from his duties for a long period.
He added, ”Imo State is being run like someone’s empire.The State is like a vessel without a captain.”

“At a time when Imo State urgently requires proactive measures to alleviate economic hardship, Governor Uzodimma’s abandonment of his people is deeply troubling,”
“His actions raise doubts about his legitimacy as a leader chosen by the people.” Nwulu asserted.
He also berated the Uzodinma for his failure to fulfil his promise to send 4,000 Imo youths abroad for employment opportunities last year, Nwulu said the promise was a mere political ploy aimed at garnering support during the gubernatorial election.
He disclosed that his inquiries with the European Union Mission in Nigeria yielded no evidence of such plans.
He described the promise as deceitful and unacceptable.
“The Uzodimma administration’s failure to fulfil its promise to Imo youths underscores its lack of sincerity to the youths of Imo State”
“Imo State deserves leadership that prioritizes the welfare of its citizens and upholds transparency in governance.” Nwulu declared.
