The Deputy Speaker of the Imo House of Assembly, Mr. Amara Chyna Iwuanyanwu has said that due to the good work that Governor Hope Uzodimma -led government was doing in the state, corruption is fighting back from all angles.
This came as he said President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit was epochal in different dimensions and that the visit will be of immense benefit to Imolites.
Iwuanyanwu, who is the youngest Deputy Speaker in the country, and member representing Nwangele state constituency in the Imo Assembly, went further to say that ‘presidential visit was an opportunity for President Buhari to see the work done so far by Governor Uzodimma and his team in Imo state.’
He added: “For instance, there are some federal roads that the governor has embarked on that are not actually state roads, but because of the viability of those roads. He has embarked on them with meager funds.
“So, if the president goes back with what he has seen on ground, he can decide that the federal government and assist.
