Hassan Adamu Sokoto, Imo State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma’s newly appointed Northern Affairs Special Adviser, has tasked the 19 governors of the Northern states of Nigeria to immediately appoint aides on Igbo Affairs.
Speaking to newsmen in Owerri on Thursday, Adamu said appointing core Igbos as Special Advisers on Eastern Affairs to the Government of the 19 states of the North will strengthen inter-state businesses and guarantee unity, peace and progress of Nigeria.
The Kebbi State-born All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council Chairman of South East Hausa Community in the just concluded general elections, lauded Uzodimma for giving adequate security, a conducive atmosphere, and a level playing ground to carry on their various businesses.
He said, “APC won with a landslide in Imo because of the tremendous achievements of Governor Uzodimma. The resounding victory was an indication of Uzodimma’s good governance.
“And I am using this medium to charge Muslims in Imo State to seize this holy month of Ramadan to pray for a peaceful Imo gubernatorial election come November 11, 2023, and Uzodimma’s re-election.
“I thank Governor Uzodimma for allowing me to serve my people. I will make sure that all the northerners from the 19 states of northern Nigeria feel the impacts of Uzodimma’s good governance. I will equally make sure that northern governors appoint Igbo Affairs Aides to work in tandem in arresting our business challenges”, he promised.
He congratulated the President-elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his Vice, Kashim Shettima, and APC elected Governors, Senators, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly members especially the 27 Imo House of Assembly members-elect.
“Look at Owerri-Orlu, Oweri-Okigwe, and Owerri-Umuahia Roads. We can now boast of a good road network in Imo State. I am optimistic that Uzodimma will complete 8years in the office,” he added.
