Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Prof. James Okoroma has condemned the government’s actions and policies, which, according to him, had made Imo unsafe and destroyed the state’s economy.
Okoroma stated this while addressing a crowd of supporters who gathered to witness the formal commencement of his Governorship Campaign.
Amid loud ovations and cheers from thousands of supporters, Okoroma said that education was dead in Imo, as according to him, poor investments, inadequate motivation of teachers, indiscipline, unstable academic calendar and neglect, had remained major problems plaguing the education Sector in the State.
He promised to tackle unemployment by establishing a Youth Entrepreneurship Bank, which, he said, would fund business ideas and innovations from Imo Youth.
On insecurity, Okoroma said he would egage non-state actors to ensure lasting peace in the state.
He described Imo as a “State of Blood” where, he said, nothing would work as long as the status quo remained.
Okoroma vowed to continue from where the late Chief Sam Mbakwe stopped since, according to him, Mbakwe laid a foundation that could still be built upon.
He said that Imo was no longer an investment destination as a result of poor governance, lack of ease of doing business, and collapsed infrastructure.
