“By the way, tuesday is a night of tributes in his honour at the International Convention Center Awka and on Thursday, Nigeria will be in Anambra and will ply this road.
“You will recall that we are only 10 months in office. The insecurity was at the height of it when we assumed office, but it is abating.
“Our youths who are in the bushes should come out, emulate the late Amaechi who lived a good life.
“I believe that very soon the markings will be done on the road. Thank you for voting us. We won 16 out of 20 wards.
“We recruited 5000 teachers. We raised the salaries of civil servants by 10 percent and many more. We will still do more. We need people to work with. Support all APGA candidates to win”, the Governor added.
The Commissioner for Works, Engr Ifeanyi Okoma noted that revalidation of the road project was approved by the Anambra State Executive Council on 26th of November, 2022.
The Transition Committee Chairman for Nnewi South Council Area, Mr. Ikenna Anagboso thanked the Governor for his development initiatives, saying that Nnewi South always get their fair share just as the Commissioner for Environment, Felix Odimegwu added his voice that they will reciprocate the gesture, assuring of mobilizing massive support for the party in the coming general elections.
