“I remain a political leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ohaji/Egbema, Imo State, and Nigeria. I am still working for the Governor-General of the South-East, Uzodinma, he is more than a governor to me. He is my friend and family member.
“I know very soon social media will start spreading rumours and fake news. I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who supported me on this assignment.
“I want to thank especially my colleagues at the Government House, SSG, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, Dr Mrs Irene Chime, commissioners and special advisers/assistants, all the members of Imo State House of Assembly. You all made my job very easy.
“I am still very much around with you guys. I also want to thank my immediate constituents, the oil producing local governments of Ohaji/Egbema, Oguta, Oru East for all your support and show of love during my tenure.
“I also want to say a very big thank you to my brothers and sisters, all the traditional rulers and leaders of Ohaji/Egbema for the support and love I received from you.
Finally, I want to say a big thank you to the governing board/management and staff of ISOPADEC, you guys are amazing.”
