O Mbadiwe University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will agree with me that it was the unveiling of the white paper reports on lands that heightened insecurity in the state. We won\u2019t go back in carrying out the report on the white paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we want to restore sanity in governance, we have made frantic efforts to deliver to our campaign promises anchored on Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone found wanton in the area of stealing or embezzling the people money, will be shown the way out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNote that as I recover Imo properties converted to personal ownership by those who have political power, back to Imo people, the same awaits me when I leave office. This is why I want to reiterate before that I did not become governor to be richer than the state after my tenure, but to serve you in truth and with fear of God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Among the stakeholders that attended the meeting are the President of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Prof. George Obiozor; Elderstatesman Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu; former Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim; Senator representing Imo North senatorial district, Frank Ibezim; Chike Okafor who is representing Okigwe South Federal Constituency; former presidential candidate of APGA, Jerry Chukwueke.
