… Says, Imo State Progressing Under Uzodimma’s Leadership
A group under the aegis of Imo Coalition for Justice, Peace and True Democracy (ICJPD), has cautioned Dr. Chima Amadi and his political platform, ‘The Mazi Organization’ to desist from churning out condescending comments against Governor Hope Uzodimma’s led-Imo State administration.
The group further warned that cntinuance to such would not be condoned, pointing out that Imo State under Uzodimma is marching foward in progress and developments.
ICJPD made the statement during a press briefing in Owerri, on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
According to the group’s media release signed by the Secretary, Ahumaraeze Ikechukwu, they described Chima Amadi as a desperate politician who has started on the wrong footing.
ICJPD opined that their reaction stemmed from the press conference organized by TMO, adding that it reeks of falsehood, deceit and over reheared comedy.
ICJPD alleged that neither is TMO an NGO, a movement, nor even a pressure group, but a political family meeting of Kingsmen, where every visible position from convener, spokesman, to financier is occupied by one kingsman or another.
The group disclosed that Chima Amadi is not fit to be a Local Government Chairman talk more of becoming a Governor of the State.
The press statement reads, “To compound this insult, one of their arrowheads, Mr. Chima Matthew Amadi, has been parading himself with false airs of grandeur. He goes about falsely ascribing to himself closeness to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, shamelessly name-dropping the President and boasting of having attended the same school with the President’s Chief of Staff. Yet, in all his noise-making, he cannot point to one credible record of service either in public or private life. Instead, he parades himself as a so-called “major contractor” to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in ballot paper printing. But we challenge him today: where are the records? The only company remotely associated with him was registered barely two years ago. Is this how serious corporate giants are built? On phantom claims and paper castles? Ndi Imo are not fools.
“Even more laughable, this same Chima Amadi, in his wild boasts, has claimed severally to be so close to the INEC National Chairman that he can win elections under any political party. We ask: is this how democracy is practiced? Where one man’s vainglorious boasts of private connection now take precedence over the will of the people? If this is not the greatest shame to democratic credentials, then what else is? Chima Amadi, by such reckless utterances, has exposed himself as an enemy of democracy and a danger to our collective will.
“The ICJPD wishes to state emphatically:
“1. The so-called TMO press conference is a gathering of disgruntled, discredited, and self-seeking politicians whose only uniting factor is their frustration at the Governor’s steady success. TMO is a clan-based gathering of Ngor-Okpala kingsmen, not a statewide organisation. Their attempt to smuggle local grievances into state politics is dead on arrival.
“2. The governor, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, has curtailed politically contrived insecurity in Imo, restored confidence in governance, and is delivering visible projects across the state.
“3. Every claim raised in their press conference collapses under the weight of superior facts. They have produced no evidence, no figures, no credible witnesses—only recycled lies and tired propaganda.
“4. Ndi Imo have already defeated this brand of politics before—fiefdom, dependency, and clan entitlement. And we shall defeat it again.
“5. It is laughable that characters like Cajetan Duke, Blyden Amajirionwu, and a rootless Chima Amadi, who has proven to be more of an “Alhaji without a ancestry in Ngor-okpala”, now presents themselves as messiahs of Imo.
“Gentlemen of the press, Ndi Imo are too enlightened to fall for the antics of three desperate men. Cajetan, Blyden, and Chima are not leaders; they are political scavengers trying to launder their reputations through blackmail.
“We in the Imo coalition for Justice, Peace and true democracy call on Ndi Imo to treat their noise as exuberant. The state is marching forward under Governor Hope Uzodimma. No amount of rented press briefings will distract from that reality. Imo people will continue to rally behind Governor Hope Uzodimma, whose record of performance speaks louder than the rented voices of mushroom organisations.
We therefore put it squarely: enough is enough. Imo people want peace, progress, and development. We will not sit idly by and allow desperate politicians and clannish adventurers to drag us backwards into servitude, deceit, and contrived poverty. Our state is too sophisticated, our people too educated, and our history too proud to be reduced to the plaything of opportunists who think governance is about name-dropping, empty boasts, and alms distribution”.
