The Governor, made the disclosure during the first anniversary thanksgiving service of his second term in office at Maria Assumpta Cathedral, Owerri while responding to remarks by the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, His Grace Most Revd Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji.


Ugorji had in his homily, advised Uzodinma to be more present in the state rather than spending so much time in Abuja.


However, in response to the Archbishop’s advice, the Governor said the state is among those that makeup Nigeria and for any state to derive the maximum benefits from the Federal Government, its leadership must maintain a robust presence at the national level.


Uzodinma said as the Chairman of the APC Governor’s Forum and the South-East Governors forum respectively, the two positions made it necessary for him to be in constant touch with Abuja.


The Governor, maintained that how often a Governor stays at home cannot be a useful yardstick to determine his administration’s achievements.


He said a good leader must leverage every available opportunity to advance the course of his citizens.
