Governor Uzodimma Reacts To Supreme Court Victory

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has said he accepted his victory at the Supreme Court with a heart full of gratitude to the people of the state.

Hope Uzodimma said the Supreme Court victory reported by Naija News on Friday, was victory for the citizens of the state.

He added that it was a validation of judgements of the Tribunal and the Court of Appeal that affirmed him as the rightful winner of the 11 November 2023 governorship election.

In a statement on Friday evening, Uzodimma said, “It is with a heart full of gratitude that I thank God Almighty for granting me another victory after I had also emerged victorious at the Tribunal and the Court of Appeal.

“I express my gratitude to the Supreme Court for upholding the law despite the barrage of blackmail and intimidation by those who wanted sentiments to obfuscate justice.

“When Imo people overwhelmingly reelected me last year as their governor, it was simply based on my sterling performance, which remains unprecedented in the modern history of the state.

“During my second tenure inauguration, I pledged to serve them with renewed vigour, with honesty and transparency and accountability and with the fear of God.”

The Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors Forum promised to serve his people selflessly.

He further extended hands of fellowship to the opposition in the state.

“Today, with this Supreme Court victory, which I dedicate to all Imo people, irrespective of political or religious affiliation, I rededicate myself to the service of the good people of Imo state.

“To my brothers who contested with me during the election, I reinvte them to join me in the task of reinventing Imo to the state of our shared dreams. My doors will continue to remain open to all Imo people genuinely committed to the betterment of our society.

“Now that all issues pertaining to the election have been resolved, let us all work for the peace and progress of our dear State,” Governor Uzodimma added.
