Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma has said bandits and hoodlums would have overrun the state if not for the “prompt” intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr Uzodinma stated this on Tuesday after the commissioning of the dualised 36-kilometer Owerri-Orlu Road and the first phase of the dualised 53-kilometer Owerri-Okigwe Road in the state by Mr Buhari.
The president also commissioned the reconstructed Imo House of Assembly Complex.
“Your prompt intervention helped to restore peace and order in our state.

“But for your timely, prompt and fatherly intervention through the security agencies, Imo State would have been overrun by bandits and hoodlums.
“For this, I also say a big thank you Mr President,” Mr Uzodinma said.
Like other states in the South-east, Imo State has recently become a hotbed of attacks attributed to the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, which is agitating for a sovereign state for the Igbo-speaking people in the South-east.
