•Promises To Execute Gov Uzodimma’s Programs At The Grassroots
While the politicking for who occupies the Executive Chairmanship seat of Oru East Local Government Area, Imo State, thickens, a frontline contender in the race, Ambassador (Nze) Celestine Nnamdi Onyeaka has assured of better days.
This was even as he declared that his tenure, if elected at the end of the day, would not leave any stone unturned for the development of rural areas.
