OJIRI

Imo PDP Governorship hopeful, Mr. Ken Ojiri, has assured the people of Imo State of a strong local economy if he gets their mandate to pilot the affairs of the State in 2015.

Ojiri who spoke when he received PDP ward officers and leaders in his Obibi Ward in Owerri North Local Government Area, said he intends to build a solid local economy not dependent on federal allocations for Imo State which would lead to a drastic reduction in unemployment.

 According to him, “What is uppermost in my mind is to employ my expertise in the direction of building a solid local economy for Imo, using our naturally endowed resources with the ultimate goal of generating economically rewarding employment for Imolites. No economy thrives with a preponderant number of young people not gainfully employed.

The young politician promised that Imo people will start noticing great positive difference within a very short time, if he becomes governor, insisting that Imo has all the resources endowed by God to be great if these gifts of nature are properly deployed for the general good of the people.

Ojiri also promised to carry the ward along in prosecuting his campaign. He said their visit has afforded him the opportunity for wider interaction with them and assured them of his support as always.

In their responses, the party leaders led by the Ward Chairman, Mr. Canice Osuji said they were on a solidarity visit to the amiable and cerebral young politician to encourage and assure him of their unalloyed support as brothers, in his aspiration saying, it is also their own project as a group and as individuals.

The Ward Chairman enjoined party faithful in the ward to put their efforts in the direction of moving the party forward and making it formidable to be able to win all elective positions in the forthcoming elections.

Mr. Osuji, on behalf of leaders and members of the ward intimated Ojiri that they have adopted him as their candidate and told him to safely count on their support and solidarity. He further advised him to put God first, expressing the confidence that He (God) will lead him to victory.

Speaking also, Hon Okenze Henry Unegbu admonished PDP members in the ward to work hard to help Ojiri succeed and noted that he is the most fit and proper person for the job among all the aspirants. Other party leaders who spoke also commended Ojiri’s sterling qualities and prayed that God would grant him victory.
