The stakeholders were led by Imo APC Chairman Chief Macon Nlemigbo.
“I need to appeal to politicians. You need to help the governor. Any society that does not have respect for elders is not a progressive society, no matter who you are. The governor is a humble person. Onwa Oyoko has a good heart," Ekeh stated.
Ekeh also hailed Uzodinma's "proactive style of governance" and called for peace in Imo, amid a wave of attacks targeting correctional, INEC and police facilities in the southeast region of Nigeria in recent times.
During the meeting, Hon. Uche Nwuli moved a motion that the governor should be adopted as a son of Mbaitoli, a motion that was immediately adopted by attendees.
Gov Uzodinma is consulting with all local government stakeholders in Imo state as a way of deepening governance, feeling the pulse of the people and keeping in touch with the grassroots, his aides say.
Uzodinma has promised to fast track the execution of developmental projects in Mbaitoli.
