The first interim state chairman of All Progressive Congress in Imo State, Chief Romanus Egbuladike on Monday noted that the much talked about Charter of Equity in Imo political space is to ensure equitable distribution of power and fairness.
He insisted, “The charter of equity is good and brings justice. It has to be made clear that it’s not automatic. Power is not given, it is taken. If Owerri zone will clinch the office of the governor come 2027, it has to work with other zones like Orlu and Okigwe.
They will also make sure they field the best of her candidate. Imo citizens are interested in voting for a credible candidate irrespective of where the person comes from”.
Nobody is going to carry the governor to any zone. The Charter of Equity does not deny other zones from exercising their political franchise”.
Charter of Equity is not a constitutional issue, it’s for peace to reign. Owerri zone must build their bridges by working with other zones. Owerri zone must field sellable and marketable candidate for the office of the governor”.
He described as distraction and dead on arrival the ongoing coalition against the president of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He made this known while speaking to newsmen in Owerri. He said, “In 2013, we had coalition of political parties under the National Merger Committee that saw about five political parties that lost their identities and formed All Progressive Congress and the party won the election and took over power from People’s Democratic Party’s sixteen years leadership”.
He said the coalition cannot hold water because it is not properly done and it is not all inclusive. Tinubu is just two years in office.
His reforms are begining to have possible impact on the citizens. You can see that the prices of foodstuffs are going down, they are not skyrocketing”. Reforms come with peace, let’s give the president chance to concentrate on bringing good governance to Nigerians”.
“With the way, they are talking about coalition, it is as if Tinubu has stayed for twenty years.
He is just two years in office. Let’s allow him finish his term. If they are forming coalition in two years of Tinubu government, it means that what they are looking for is either personal or they do not have the interest of the country at heart”.
Egbuladike, who is a founding member of APC in 2013, lauded the Governor of Imo state, Senator Hope Uzodimma for the completion of Awo-Omamma junction-Okwudor road in Oru-East LGA with state of the art street lights. He urged the governor to increase the economic activities of the area by magnanimously approving the reconstruction of the 2.5km road, known as Nickben road that connects from Eziawo 1 Awo-Omamma -Amiri-Attah road that has gone bad.
He applauded the governor and the outspoken and bold house member of Oru-East state constituency, Hon. Chigozie Nwaneri for refurbishing the water project at Umudaraocha community called Daraocha water project which has brought relief to the community members”.
He commended the governor for the payment of 104,000 minimum wage. “That bold pronouncement has made other state governments to kickstart the recent increments and enhancement of workers salary”.
Egbuladike appreciated the governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma for his efforts in appointing sons and daughters of
Awo-Omamma into his administration.
He urged the governor to ensure that the appointment goes round the four political wards so that according to him, the appointments are not lopsided in one ward, calling it Awo-Omamma in entirety”.
He hinted that the governor has broken records of other governors with visible infrastructure especially road network.
