The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Imo State, Sir Tony Ejiogu, has declared that he will transform the state if he wins the forthcoming election.
Ejiogu said he will focus on the root causes of infrastructural decay in the state and not the symptoms.
In an interview with journalists, Ejiogu said he has already designed his plan to move the state forward from day one.
He said his five-point agenda encapsulates the concerns raised by citizens of the state especially with regards to the absence of healthcare and education.
“If your house is on fire, chasing away the rodents is the least of your worries. We understand the critical state of affairs in Imo State.
“We know the importance of sectors such as healthcare and education. In addition, the underlying governance issues must be resolved first.
“Our house is on fire, and that is why we are where we are. The fundamental structures of governance have decayed to a degree that poses a threat to the very existence of the state. Lack of trust, productivity, and safety have become rampant issues, leading to the deterioration of facilities in various sectors,” Ejiogu said.
He added that he is not a career politician making grand promises of building roads and schools, adding that his focus lies on fixing the government and establishing a working system where all aspects of governance are executed seamlessly with prudence and honesty.
“My 5-point agenda encompasses comprehensive reforms aimed at extinguishing the fire engulfing Imo State. Our vision centres on bringing back a working government where trust is restored, productivity flourishes, and safety prevails,” he added.
