Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State, claimed on Sunday that he took over a failing state from Emeka Ihedioha.<\/p>\n

Uzodimma also stated in a broadcast in Owerri, the state capital, to commemorate his three years in office that he did not receive a handover note upon taking office.<\/p>\n

He said that the challenges he confronted<\/a> since taking over power were humongous but he said that he had been able to surmount them.<\/p>\n

Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and insecurity, which he claims is politically motivated, Uzodimma’s administration has achieved unprecedented results in 36 months.<\/p>\n

The governor stated that he inherited a failing road network but was able to build an unfathomable number of quality roads, attracting the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state twice.<\/p>\n

Uzodimma said that the civil service system he inherited was nothing to write home about but today the state possesses one of the best civil service systems in the federation.<\/p>\n

He also said that he had given the traditional institution in the state and the judiciary facelifts since he became the governor of the state.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe Imo State we met in January 2020 on the assumption of office can best be described as something very close to the political definition of a failed state, this time at a sub-national level.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all practical purposes, we met a state with a decayed infrastructure, a dysfunctional workforce and a deeply despondent and traumatised populace. There was hardly any single motorable road across the state. The state capital of Owerri, in particular, was littered with unmotorable roads and dilapidated government buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe civil service was a good example of a disoriented and directionless institution with no regard for regulations and due process. As a consequence, productivity and reputation dropped to zero. For a state like Imo which was renowned for its efficient and reputable civil service, this collapse was a major dent in our pride and reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general populace, dismayed by the inexplicable failure of government, relapsed into utter despondency and hopelessness, like sheep without shepherds. Yes, the situation was that bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation was made worse by the fact that we had no handover note, and there was nobody to ask questions about the government\u2019s assets and liabilities. We were faced with a dead end on arrival. Our situation was worse than talking to the deaf and dumb. It can only be comparable to the ordeal of someone groping in the dark in search of a pin.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it was that daunting. But we refused to be deterred. I am not the one to give excuses for failure. By my election, I had reached a social contract with Ndimo to move our state forward. And that, for me, was a task that must be accomplished.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make a very bad situation even worse, it appeared that the god of oddities was temporarily on the throne.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we were trying to navigate an already messed up ship without a compass, the COVID-19 pandemic reared its ugly head with its negative consequences on the global, national and state economies, in addition to an unprecedented toll on human life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs if that was not enough trouble for us, some unrepentant sour political losers vowed to make the state ungovernable for me. And they did not stop at mere threats: They walked their threats by unleashing unbridled violence in the state. It was like hail was let loose and insecurity became the order of the day. Our state which was once admired for its safety, serenity and sanity became a den of criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur state was a preferred destination for tourists became a dreaded city as visitors and even indigenes stayed away for fear of becoming victims of the senseless killings, arson and violence that spread across the state. Yes, our take-off was that bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was bad enough to daunt even the bravest<\/a>. But we refused to give up. Instead, we summoned courage and confronted all the challenges head-on. I was convinced that this was what the Imo people who chose me over the other candidates expected me to do. Looking back to three years ago, I can beat my chest and say that to a very large extent, we have overcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I must add that we overcame not because we are the bravest or the wisest but because God is with us, and I know for certain that our faithful God does not abandon his people. I was inspired and strengthened by the verse from the Holy Bible in Joshua chapter 1:9 which says; Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened or dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
