'Assign Igbo Relations Aides' - Imo State Governor Tells Northern Governors

POSTED ON March 30, 2023 •   Nigeria      BY Akinbohun Samuel

Sen. Hope Uzodimma's newly appointed special adviser for northern affairs, Hassan Adamu Sokoto, the governor of Imo State, has given the 19 governors of Nigeria's northern states the order to quickly appoint advisors on Igbo affairs.

The appointment of core Igbos as Special Advisers on Eastern Affairs to the Government of the 19 states of the North, according to Adamu, will improve interstate commerce and ensure Nigeria's unity, peace, and advancement. He made this claim while speaking to reporters in Owerri on Thursday.

In the recently concluded general elections, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council Chairman of the South East Hausa Community, who is a native of Kebbi State, praised Uzodimma for providing sufficient security, a welcoming environment, and a fair playing field for conducting their various businesses.

"APC won with a landslide in Imo because of the outstanding accomplishments of Governor Uzodimma," he claimed. The overwhelming triumph was proof of Uzodimma's wise leadership.

"And I'm using this opportunity to urge Imo State's Muslims to take advantage of the sacred month of Ramadan to pray for a peaceful election for governor of Imo on November 11, 2023, as well as for Uzodimma's reelection.

"I appreciate Governor Uzodimma letting me work for my community. I'll see to it that the positive effects of Uzodimma's sound leadership are felt by everyone in the northerners of the 19 northern states of Nigeria. I will also see to it that northern governors designate Igbo Affairs Aides so we can work together to address our business challenges."

He congratulated the newly elected APC Governors, Senators, Members of the House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly, particularly the 27 members of the Imo House of Assembly. He also greeted the newly elected President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his Vice President, Kashim Shettima.

"Look at the Oweri-Okigwe, Oweri-Orlu, and Oweri-Umuahia Roads. Imo State now has an excellent road system, which we can be proud of. I think Uzodimma will stay in the government for her full eight years," he stated.
