Uzodinma Inaugurates APC Ward Liaison Officers

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has inaugurated 305 liaison officers for wards in the state, charging them to defend the achievements of his government.

Performing the ceremony at the  Government House in Owerri,  the governor said their inauguration was a way of enhancing his administration’s inclusiveness and  ensuring that more critical stakeholders are engaged to work and contribute their quota to the  administration.

He reminded the officers that before now Imo people were living in fear of insecurity but thanked God that the situation has been brought under control with relative peace now reigning in the state.

He said their appointments would sustain the peace that has been achieved by the government in their environments.

The governor told them that effective from the day of their inauguration, they had become part and parcel of the government, and challenged them to go and defend government’s programmes and activities alongside other party structures already on ground.

He said they were not accountable  to anyone but him, hence are to report straight to his office, adding that by their appointments they are members of the political bureau.

He however cautioned them not to be disrespectful to their leaders at home, noting that there should be no conflicts in their domains.
