their pressing challenges and concerns, especially Sunday Church Service, to come and welcome him back home.

affordable and sustainable services, remains a testament to his leadership commitment to the promotion and protection of the welfare, wellbeing and security of citizens of the state.

While reiterating his heartfelt gratitude to the rapturous crowd of APC members for turning out en masse to welcome him back home, Dr Kaduru enjoined them to remain resolute and steadfast in their support for Governor Uzodinma, who he noted has significantly transformed the infrastructural and socioeconomic landscape of the state ,through his visionary leadership.
