The governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, has apologised for the inconvenience caused to dignitaries by postponing his scheduled State address.
The address was originally fixed for Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at the state House of Assembly.
However, speaking in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, on Tuesday, the governor said the address had been postponed indefinitely.
“The State of the State address earlier scheduled to be delivered by His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, Governor of Imo, on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, has been postponed.
“A new date for the ceremony shall be announced soon.
“The government regrets any inconvenience the postponement might have caused the invitees and other stakeholders,” the statement read.
Uzodimma was scheduled to address the people of the state on the wins, challenges, and plans for the years ahead.
The event is expected to be attended by representatives of all the bodies in the state, including the traditional institutions.
Meanwhile, Uzodinma has stated that the defections to the ruling party affirm the party’s governance success.
Naija News reports that the Governor of Imo State, Uzodimma, said APC is admired by all Nigerians, particularly as President Bola Tinubu remained steadfast in delivering quality leadership to the country.
The Chairman of Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) stated this on Sunday, as the party’s governors and national leadership hosted stakeholders of the party from Delta State at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja.
Recall that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his structure in Delta decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC last week.
In a brief statement on Sunday on his 𝕏 handle, the Imo State Governor said the party expects more defections.
“Their decision to identify with the APC is a clear indication that our party enjoys immense admiration among the people. After all, one can only admire what is good and progressive, and under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our party has remained steadfast in delivering on our mandate of transforming our nation progressively.
“This success story continues to resonate widely, and it is no surprise that we anticipate even more new members across the nation. As always, we will continue to open our doors to all who believe in and identify with the remarkable progress we are making in the governance of our country,” he said.
