The IPTA President who gave this commendation while interacting with newsmen in Owerri recently, showered encomiums on Okorocha for encouraging and ensuring the smooth operations of Keke operators in the state while assuring the governor of their continued unalloyed support and cooperation to his led Rescue Mission Government's policies and developmental programmes in the state.
“Owelle Okorocha is a man of the people. I don't have enough word to describe him. His love for the Keke people in the state is overwhelming. He is like a father to all of us. We love him so much and have vowed to do all we can to support all his activities and policies for the state and also his future political aspirations.
“I am particularly not happy to hear that he is not running for the President in 2019 because to all of us, he represents a quality and genuine leader Nigerians need for a better Nigeria.”Okorie stated.
He further enjoined the KEKE operators and the entire Imolites to remain appreciative and supportive to governor Okorocha's led Rescue Mission administration in the state which he said has transformed the state beyond imagination only in his five years in office.
“Whoever that says that Owelle has not tried for this state is a liar. For me, his emergence as the governor of this state and all he has done for the state are testimonies. To many generations to come, he will be remembered and posterity will favour him for his good deeds.”Okorie said.
The KEKE boss finally expressed dismay with the behavior of some group of Keke operators who according to him have failed to adhere to the instructions/directives of the state governor to come together as one body under Imo Pilot Transport Association and wondered why such people have choose to sabotage the efforts of the state government to ensure uniformity and orderliness in KEKE operations in the state.
