The Legislative Councils of Ideato North and Ideato South Local Government Areas in Imo State have endorsed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election and adopted Governor Hope Uzodimma as their sole senatorial candidate for Orlu Senatorial District.
The resolutions were adopted yesterday during a special joint plenary held at the newly constructed Umuchima-Ideato Bridge, with the councils also passing a vote of confidence in Uzodimma over his administration’s interventions in infrastructure and erosion control in Ideato communities.
Moving the motion, the councillor representing Dikenafai, Donatus Ebere, said the choice of the bridge as venue was significant given the area’s past infrastructure challenges.
The councillors cited the Mgbee-Obiohia-Akokwa-Uga Road and the ongoing reconstruction of the Okwelle-Dikenafai-Ntueke Road as further evidence of the administration’s intervention, describing Uzodimma as a ‘great silent achiever.’
The motion, supported by other legislators from both councils, was seen as both an infrastructure milestone and a political statement ahead of the 2027 elections.
