Uzodimma Donates Vehicles To Security Agencies In Imo

Governor of Imo State Hope Uzodimma has donated 27 brand new Hilux vehicles to security agencies in the state.

The 27 vehicles were handed over to the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Barde, on behalf of the combined team of security agencies by Governor Uzodimma before he set out for the sensitisation visit to Oru West and Oguta respectively.

The Hilux vehicles were given to the combined team of security agencies to enable them oversee collection of PVCs at designated centres across the state.

Making the presentation at the Government House, the governor said: “The action is a deliberate effort aimed at strengthening the efforts of the security agencies to occupy the political space and ensure the next election in the state is hitch free.”

The governor told the security operatives to “deploy the vehicles to help INEC in the successful distribution of PVCs because it will be bad for our people, who after suffering to register, are not allowed to collect their PVCs for voting.”

He thanked the security agencies for always being available and enthusiastic to collect the vehicles for the assignment and reiterated his determination to support them to do their work in Imo State.

The governor reminded the operatives that the team is under the control of the Commissioner of Police in Imo State and requested Barde to ensure that his men “go out and do the work professionally and in accordance with the rules of engagement.”

In his remarks, the Imo State commissioner for homeland security and vigilance services, Hon Ugorji Ugorji, thanked the governor for all his assistance and support to the security agencies in the state which he said “have given the state the peace we enjoy today.”
