Nobody Can Accuse Me Of Corruption – Hope Uzodinma

Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, on Thursday said nobody can accuse him of corruption as a public holder.

Speaking during the Michael Okpara leadership lecture and award 2024 at the Musa Yar’ Adua Centre in Abuja, the governor advised public officeholders to live within their legitimate means and desist from engaging in corrupt practices.

While delivering his lecture titled, ‘Service Above Others; Lessons from the Leadership Philosophy of Michael Okpara,’ Governor Uzodinma advocated the need for political leaders to emulate the legacy of the late Premier of Eastern Nigeria to achieve a more prosperous country.

Further speaking, he revealed that the Egbema power plant which is currently ongoing rehabilitation will be completed and commissioned in the first quarter of 2025.

He described the project as pivotal in supplying 24-hour electricity in all areas of the state.

Other guests include the Governor of Cross River State, Prince Bassey Otu; Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, Patricia Obila; former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, past and serving lawmakers amongst others.
