The governor, who is contesting for re-election in November, said he had negotiated with some European and Canadian companies which have promised to “send us special areas of skills which our youths will also learn”.

Mr Iwuanyanwu, the deputy speaker, issued a statement on Saturday, backing Mr Uzodinma over the comment.

Mr Iwuanyanwu said the plan to send the youths abroad would help to lift several families out of poverty and contribute to the state’s economic growth, and that Governor Uzodinma deserves commendation for hatching the idea. He said, “History is not scarce of great leaders in politics, religion, business and the sciences who were misunderstood and whose great visions were initially ridiculed and condemned as either impossible or irrelevant, but what stands these leaders out and made them heroes at the end is their tenacity at sustaining these visions and riding it through to the benefit of even those who never gave it a chance.

“Apparently, Senator Hope Uzodinma is making it impossible for the opposition in Imo State to have anything of significance to campaign with. Hence, they resort to embarrassing levels of mudslinging.
