PRESIDENT TINUBU’S BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO GOVERNOR HOPE UZODIMMA

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State is the true representation of a progressive, both in ideal and action.

As the ambassador of Renewed Hope, a beacon of unity and a force for positive change, Governor Uzodimma’s belief in Nigeria and its extraordinary possibilities is admirable. He talks of unity and acts to strengthen our bond and blur the artificial lines that separate us. He is a patriot through and through.

His leadership style is expansive and corrective, accommodating and decisive. His choice as the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum attests to his broadmindedness and capacity to rally people together and inspire loyalty and comradeship.

Elected in 2011 as a Senator to represent the people of Imo West Senatorial District, he delivered quality and impactful representation.

Since he became governor in 2020, Imo State under his leadership has experienced steady progress.

Governor Uzodimma’s footprints are remarkable in infrastructure development and improvements in healthcare, education, and security.

At a personal level, Governor Uzodimma is very affable and has an admirable strength of character. He is a dependable ally. I admire his brilliance and proven problem-solving ability.

On this joyous birthday on December 12, I join family, friends, associates, supporters, and the good people of Imo State in celebrating him. I wish him many more years of good health and greater service to our country and humanity at large.
