Opara-Ndudu
Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho, former Minister of Interior and the All Progressive Grand Alliance ( APGA) flag bearer in the 2015 governorship elections in Imo State, has lauded Nick Opara-Ndudu , describing him as a capable hand who has the capacity to drive the state to the path of glory.
Speaking at the formal declaration by Opara-Ndudu to contest the Imo 2019 governorship election on the platform of the APGA , Iheanacho lauded the aspirant for putting together workable solutions on the development challenges facing the state and urged party supporters to rally round him to make sure he achieved his goal to emerge candidate and win at the polls.
He said the solutions packaged by Opara-Ndudu are strong enough to address the intractable issues currently facing the state.
In a well attended ceremony in Owerri, on Friday, the Imo state capital, Opara-ndudu unveiled his blueprint, which he said would guide him in his effort to arrest the ruin being witnessed in every sector of the state economy.
The former bank boss told the cheering and visibly excited audience made up of party stalwarts and other stakeholders through his professional career in banking where he rose to the very top and his trajectory in the public sector where he also served Imo people in four different capacities, the high point being the attainment of the highest internally generated revenue that the state witnessed while the portfolio was under his watch.
His plan themed: “Imo- Creating Pathways to Prosperity and Growth”, covers education, agriculture, industrialization, health, land reform, tourism, housing among others.
He also promised to build on the legacies of Chief Sam Mbakwe, late governor of old Imo State, by creating massive employment through the linkage between agriculture and industry.
