Nweze stated this in a statement she made available to journalists on Wednesday.
She noted that Uzodimma’s second term will enable him to consolidate the rapid development of Imo under his watch.
“Having reviewed the emphatic and loud approval trailing your re-election bid which speaks of the confidence and trust the Imo people have in your visionary and progressive leadership, the office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Development (South East) is pleased to publicly declare our endorsement for your reelection bid.
“Instructively, in the last 46 months, under the watch and direction of Your Excellency, Imo the Eastern heartland has soared in education, healthcare, road infrastructure, rural development, sports and security, and so on.
“We take note and applaud Your Excellency’s ambitious digital programme to train 300,000 Imo youths on digital skills. We laud you for the construction of over 64 roads spanning over 150 kilometres and ongoing rehabilitation of another 43 routes of over 350 kilometres in both urban and rural areas, revival of hitherto moribund industries in Imo state such as the Adapalm and Acharaugo farms, health insurance programme for Imo residents in partnership with the WHO, to mention just a few.
“Your support base continues to grow on the back of your personal character, integrity and solid performance indexes in office. The Eastern heartland is now experiencing unprecedented economic growth and a generational shift from poor leadership to good governance.
