Amadi who hails from Ezeluike Emekuku is said to be a Nigerian born United States of America, USA based successful business man, a highly disciplined home man with integrity, humility and philanthropy.

The aspirant disclosed that he’s pursuing his ambition under the political platform of All Progressives Congress, APC and with a political structure code named REGIM 2027 like Barr. Success Obioma Akagburuonye, he is a man focused, man of history, pedigree and antecedents.

Insiders within his political camp optimistically told this reporter that the aspirant is patriotically coming out with intimidating experiences, network of local, national and international connections, messages of good, compassionate and purposeful governance, big financial war chest and selfless services to the State and the society at large.

Amadi who said he’s overwhelmed with joy and goose pimples experiencing an unconditional love shown to him by the masses but decried the level of poverty and insecurities that have for long bedeviled the State and the nation.

He applauded Governor Hope Uzodimma for his visionary leadership as well as his Shared Prosperity administration’s massive infrastructural developments and transformations of the State.

The business mogul turned politician said it point blank, that he is not desperate at all for the governorship ambition but all he is praying for, is for God Almighty and the people to elect the best among the litanies of persons aspiring to occupy Imo State Government House in 2027.

Amadi pointed out that a lot of things needs to be fixed up in the State like rural roads construction, rehabilitation and maintenance, headlong fight against insecurity, addressing poverty and job creation among other socioeconomic needs of the people.

According to him,”the decision to join the race, is borne out of patriotic desire to rebuild Imo State and Nigeria at large.

“Governor Hope Uzodimma has done well in terms of infrastructural developments and security, but more needs to be done.

“The Road needs to be fixed, the State is lagging behind in so many socioeconomic sectors when compared with other States of the Federation. My mission is wholistic development and transformation of the State, am not interested in the wealth of the State, am absolutely comfortable and my businesses are doing well.

“The issue is not about political party, the fundamental issue is an individual who can perform, the State needs the right calibre of person as a credible candidate, we can not continue to make the same mistake every time.

“This is our chance again to change the ugly narratives of incompetence, corruption, ungodliness and selfishness.

“People are hungry and dying. Obviously, time has come and the narrative should be thinking for the betterment of the people and the State. I am for the populace, am not desperate at all about the job of governorship, am more interested in us electing the right person.

“It could be me or any other person, for me, job creation is paramount. It’s time for new dawn and I have the Midas touch to turn things better” he assured.

Earlier in his speech, Hon. Prince Eric, the Director General REGIM 2027 described the aspirant as a man of immense vision and with patriotic desires to develop and transform the State.
