The number two citizen of Imo State also extolled Governor Okorocha for his effort at restructuring the State to becoming a diversified economy, especially in the area of agriculture and agribusiness through his back to land policy.
In the same vein, he commended the good people of Imo State for their resilience and industry in times of challenges like the present one, which he attributed to the crash of crude oil prices at the international market and the failure of the past leaders to save for the rainy day.
He therefore urged them to continue to support Governor Okorocha in his bid to to restructure Imo State into a tourist and food basket of the nation through his urban renewal efforts and other policies that are geared towards achieving a sustainable economy with food sufficiency and security.
Madumere therefore called on all and sundry to keep hope alive as the present Government joining strategies with President Muhammed Buhari-led Federal Government will surely steer Nigeria to appreciable height.
He hailed President Buhari for his focus and his appreciable resolve with sincerity of purpose to build a new Nigeria.
He however called for all hands to be on deck to contributing towards making Nigeria great, while insisting that the country can do much better when patriotism and spirit of brotherhood prevails over ethnicism, religious intolerance and corruption.
