Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, on Saturday, assured Imo people that the State will not be overwhelmed by insecurity.
Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Imo State Elders Council, the Governor said that his administration would continue to put measures in place to ensure that peace within the State is sustained.
“Collectively, we will defend ourselves from these agents of destabilization, we must work together to save the State. I can’t do it alone.
“What happened in Imo State if not for God, would have been terrible, the implementation of the White Paper was our greatest undoing that saw the State being unleashed with evil by criminals who milked the State dry.
“We came and agreed that our looted assets must be recovered and that we are doing,” he added.
Speaking further, he said “As a Government we will not relent in doing the needful, security-wise, to make Imo State a choice destination for all including outsiders, all persons inciting violence, insecurity through words and actions would be made to face the law.
“We must all come out and speak against the lies, propaganda being peddled against the State. I would want to sincerely appreciate the galaxy of personalities here who in the open, have continuously sided with the truth,” the Governor said as he urged the Elders’ Council to protect Imo in the best interest of Imo people.
