Assistant Inspector-General of Police (Retired), Dr. Charles Ugomuoh\u00a0 \u00a0last Tuesday\u00a0 at the Labour Party Headquarters\u00a0 in Utako\u00a0 District , FCT Abuja , obtained the nomination and expression of interest form to vie for the Governorship\u00a0 Seat of Imo state.<\/p>\n
AIG\u00a0 Ugomuoh, who fielded questions from newsmen shortly after he obtained the form, said it is a new dawn for Imo people. The retired AIG vowed to secure lives and property of the people in the state and promised to look into the human capital development if elected into office as governor of Imo State.<\/p>\n
Speaking on what spurs him to vie for governorship of Imo state and what he will do differently if elected, AIG Ugomuoh\u00a0 said it will be the issue of prerogative of governance\u00a0 to restore peace, safety of lives and property. He said he is poised to reduce violence in the once peaceful state. According to him, \u201cit is time to unite the Imo People for progress and prosperity and we need to raise the index of the human capital development in the state\u201d.<\/p>\n
In his response to how he will revise the regular but ugly news of killings and violence coming from Imo State, Ugomuoh\u00a0 said: \u201cYou know I am AIG \u2013 my government will restore security of Imo People, we will guarantee peace and security of lives and property\u201d. He urged the youths\u00a0 in the State who have ran out to neighbouring towns and states to come back,\u00a0 that a\u00a0 new dawn and a new beginning is achievable under his watch . Ugomuoh assured that the concept will be different since he has the political will to deliver the people from insecurity and violence, adding that he will create people-oriented government that will make the difference.\u00a0 The retired senior Police officer\u00a0 reminded citizens\u00a0 that he has contested for the Senate before, he reiterated that\u00a0 he is coming with competence, capacity and character,\u00a0 he assured that it won\u2019t be a difficult task to displace the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that has been vocal in reclaiming their mandate in the state.<\/p>\n
On whether\u00a0 he has the support base in terms of grassroots mobilization , Ugomuoh\u00a0 answered in affirmatives,\u00a0 adding\u00a0 \u201cthat things have changed and people are looking for change and that i have\u00a0 offered to provide the desired change.\u00a0 Imo people are looking for fresh air and provision of security and honestly, we are going to unite Imo people. Once they see that you have capacity, competence and character, they will queue behind you and I have all that,\u00a0 and they know. I am a tested officer, I have contested for the Senate, I have a masters degree from Unilag, PGD from University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from University of Ibadan- I have seen it all, I have what it takes to restore peace in Imo State\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
Earlier in his remarks before handing over the form to the Imo Governorship aspirant, the National Secretary of the Labour Party Alhaji\u00a0 Umar Farouk assured AIG Ugomuoh\u00a0 of the total support of the party and promised that LP will provide a level playing field to all aspirants. He wished him victory in his desire to rescue\u00a0 \u00a0Imo State, stressing that Imo people are desirous of electing someone that will liberate them and provide them with fresh air.<\/p>\n
A retired Comptroller General of Customs,\u00a0 Mr Ekpendu Peter, PhD, who accompanied AIG Ugomuoh\u00a0 (Rtd), to purchase the expression of interest and nomination form, extolled the virtues of\u00a0 AIG\u00a0 Ugomuoh , adding that he is passionate about all he has devoted his time to and has no doubt that he would make Imo an eldorado. He said they have been close friends since childhood.<\/p>\n
Our Tabloid\u00a0 recalls that Imo State governorship election will take place on November 11, 2023 due to the belated inauguration of incumbent Governor Hope Uzodimma.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile , the excitement at the labour party headquarters was captured by the national secretary of the party Alhaji Umar Farouk, who said that Ugomuoh\u2019s wide experience put him in a strong position to achieve victory in the election. He said that the entry of candidates of Ugomuoh\u2019s calibre and pedigree is an indication that Nigerians have woken up to the need for clean, skilled and informed candidates to run the affairs of the States and a new Nigeria is possible.<\/p>\n
Dr. Ugomuoh\u00a0 who\u00a0 earlier declared his interest to\u00a0 join the Governorship race , stated that if he gets elected, he would demarcate Imo State into zones of comparative advantage and aggregate investment interests to exploit the advantage and create Job opportunities. As a necessary palliative, he promised to institute unemployment benefits scheme to give the youth hope while improving skills acquisition to make them employable.<\/p>\n
