In a statement issued early Tuesday morning, Orie described the visit as “an affirmation that Imo is safe, open for business, and fully aligned with the renewed progress and vision” of Tinubu’s administration.
Orie also took the opportunity to commend Governor Hope Uzodimma for what he called “remarkable achievements over the past six years,” highlighting the governor’s strategic policies that have “repositioned Imo State for growth and stability.” He lauded the governor for his efforts in ensuring that the people of Imo enjoy the benefits of democracy, praising his unwavering commitment to fulfilling those goals.
“Governor Uzodimma has laid out strategic plans and consistently implemented policies to ensure that Ndi Imo enjoy the dividends of democracy. I am proud to acknowledge that he has remained faithful to those plans and has delivered with distinction,” Orie said.

According to him, these reforms are pivotal in driving economic growth and have set the tone for renewed hope across the country.
“These gains, though accompanied by understandable challenges, are laying a strong foundation for sustainable growth, prosperity, and a brighter future for all Nigerians,” he added.
