Speaking to Lead Express after the meeting of APC members at his Ngor-Okpala country home, Onuegbu a practising lawyer with many years standing revealed that aside late Imo elder State man,Chief Sam Mbakwe, no other Governor can be equated with Uzodimma in good governance and administration both tangible and intangible in Imo.
According to Onuegbu, infrastructure wise, Uzodimma has lifted the bar on Road construction pointing out that the major Roads that link Imo to other States such as Orlu /Owerri Road, Okigwe/Owerri Road amongst others have ceased to be death traps following the Uzodimma Roads revolution in the State.

Responding to the questions of the possibility of Uzodimma returning for a second term where the likes of PDP Candidate, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, Labour party’s Candidate, Senator Athan Achonu, that of the Action Alliance,Rtd Gen Lincoln Ogunewe amongst others, Onuegbu categorically stated that though there are other contestants but they are only on the ballot to answer former Governorship Candidates in Imo not actually contesting to win.
Retired Ogunewe is only contesting to abreast himself with the Political geography of Imo and not necessarily to win the election.
Describing Senator Anyanwu as a lonely and homeless PDP Candidate who does not know whether to withdraw or continue with the contest, Onuegbu revealed that Anyanwu after pulling down the opposition party has no shelter to cover himself.
Onuegbu further stated that all the big wigs in PDP have left the party and joined Governor Uzodimma and the ruling APC hence Anyawu is now the only person in the torn Umbrella.
On the part of the Labour party Governorship candidate, Chief Athan Achonu, Onuegbu pointed out that Achonu is a mere native non resident who has not spent Two months in Imo in the last 10years adding that Achonu has returned to Imo as well joined the contest only to create public awareness and not necessarily to win hence his Campaign is limited to Umunumo Ehime Mbano his place of birth.
Onuegbu who used the forum to call on Imo people to remain supportive of the Uzodimma led administration to enable him move Imo to the next level in the next tenure. He hinted that only Uzodimma has all it takes to move the State forward and not any prospective learner on the job masquerading as a Guber Candidate.
