As the Imo State Governorship Election is drawing closer, Politicians and their supporters have started their stock in trade by wooing people with sugarcoated promises and abandon them afterwards when they are elected into office and Governor Hope Odidika Uzodinma is one of such who doesn't keep to Gentlemen agreement.
Awomama is a great city in Oru-East, Imo State with industrious and progressive men and women that has been neglected over time by some crude Politicians who doesn't believe anything good will come out from this great land flowing with milk and honey; a land blessed with one of Nigeria's finest Natural Mineral resources. Enemies abound against the progress of the Awomama. If not for the grace of God, Awomama would have been a ghost town where brothers and sisters will be fighting themselves but mercy said NO.
Governor Uzodimma has been Governor of Imo state for over 3 Years now yet Awomama cannot boast of anything from his reign. It's been backwardness all along. Since he assumed office, he has been promising to rehabilitate the porous Awomama - Okwudor road, we keep hearing "CONTRACTORS WOULD BE MOBILIZED TO SITE". What has the Governor done for the people of Awomama? No empowerment whatsoever have been given to Onye Awomama. What can one point out today that this government have done for Ndi Awomama if not neglect and abandonment?
The Local Government Headquarters was in Awomama before somebody moved it to the Governor's community in Omuma. It is worthy of note that the people of Awomama supported Governor Uzodimma's Governorship ambition in 2019 and the support base was really huge but what is happening now is a clear indication of the perceived hatred against the good and loving people of Awomama.
Security wise, Awomama and some adjoining communities like Amagu, Akuma, Akatta etc are worst hit. Commercial activities halted, young men and women leaving their father's land for the fear of the unknown, no thanks to agitation by non-state actors. Is this what these communities signed for by having a son from that region as the Chief Security of the State? This must STOP!!!
Where is Omuma in all these? Truth be told, the Governor is from Omuma and he virtually diverted everything to his community. The newly built General Hospital is located in Omuma. The Imo State Polytechnic, Magistrate Court, Customary Court, and High Court are all built in his community. Even State appointments meant for Oru-East are all cornered for Omuma. The question is, why this hatred on Awomama and other communities?
Why we await answer to these questions, Governor Uzodimma should understand that we are not fools. We are also Imolites and deserve to be treated well.
