On Sunday, during a Thanksgiving Mass, at Government House Chapel, His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma, the Governor of Imo State, underscored the significance of zoning in local government areas. In his address, Governor Uzodimma highlighted the need to uphold the zoning formula for local government chairmanship and councilorship elections. This strategy, he noted, is crucial for ensuring that all eligible individuals have an opportunity to serve and contribute to their communities, thus fostering a sense of inclusion and belonging.
Governor Uzodimma emphasized that maintaining the zoning arrangement is essential for equitable representation. It allows for a fair distribution of leadership positions among various groups within the local government areas. By adhering to this formula, those who have not yet had the chance to serve as chairmen or councilors can participate in governance, thereby enhancing democratic practices and community involvement.
The Governor’s commitment to the zoning policy aligns with his broader vision for inclusive governance, as encapsulated in his 3R mantra: Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Recovery. He aims to involve every Imo citizen in the state’s development process, ensuring that no one is left out of his administration’s efforts to improve the state’s socio-economic landscape.
By advocating for the zoning formula, Governor Uzodimma reiterates his dedication to inclusive governance. He encourages all Imo citizens to actively participate in the political process, fostering unity and collective progress across the state. This approach not only strengthens democracy but also ensures that governance at the grassroots level is reflective of the diverse voices and interests within the community.
*IMO IS WINNING*
