Bandits, hoodlums would have overrun Imo but for Buhari’s intervention, says Uzodimma

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, on Tuesday, said but for the prompt intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari, bandits and hoodlums would have overrun his state.

Uzodimma said this on Tuesday during the president’s visit to Imo State.

He said, “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 thank you Mr President.”

Buhari had earlier inaugurated the 36km dual carriageway of Owerri-Orlu road in Imo. Buhari subsequently met with South-East leaders.

Other South East governors were, however absent at the meeting.
