Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has hailed the judgment of the Supreme Court that re-affirmed him as the duly elected Governor of Imo state.
Uzodinma also called on the opposition to prioritize the need of the state by supporting his government, holding that the judgement was the will of God.
The Governor who spoke to newsmen shortly after the Supreme Court dismissed the petition of Chief Emeka Ihedioha, challenging the earlier judgment of the Apex Court, described the ruling as the expectation of the people.
“The judgment represents the expectation of the mandate of the people. We give God all the glory that at the end of the day, truth came prevailed. We commend the wisdom of the Supreme Court in standing by the truth,” he said.
Governor Uzodimma reiterated his resolve to take the state to the next level and called on all Imo sons and daughters, both home and abroad, to contribute their quota to the development of the state.
To his opponents, Governor Uzodinma said: “In this business, you must show the spirit of sportsmanship. It’s not every time you win, it’s not every time you lose. When you win, you carry the losers along; when you lose you follow those that won. My plea to my opponents is to come and bring their ideas, let us team up and create a synergy that will develop Imo State and bring succour to our people.”
On the expectations of Imo people in the next four years, Governor Uzodinma said: “You will expect miracles because I know I have a vision and that vision is a well cut out vision that will develop our state, bring prosperity, development and ensure good and long life for our people.
