Ohakim, who was the guest speaker at the 2024 synod of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion ) Dioceses of the Lake, Oguta in Imo State, said former Governors and successors should work in synergy for continuity in governance and better dividends of democracy to the people.
Ohakim expressed happiness that Governor Hope Uzodimma was different and listened to his advice.
He also pointed out that he imbibed his reelection bid after his first tenure to support him consolidate on his first tenure achievements.
Ohakim further asserted that lack of continuity in government would have deprived the State of such projects as the Oguta Wonder Lake project which he said was started by his administration.
