A happy and contented Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has thanked the Supreme Court for rising above the conspiracies, intimidation and blackmail, against him, which atimes were extended to the Their Lordships, The Honourable Justices of the Court, to affirm him as the Governor of the State.
Uzodinma had, in an overwhelming victory, defeated his main opponents, Senators Samuel Anyanwu of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Athan Achonu of tye Labour Party. He defeated in all the 27 Local Government Areas of the State.
But both men challenged Uzodinma’s victory from the State Election Tribunal to the Supreme Court.
On Friday. August 23, the Supreme Court finally told Anyanwu and Achonu the truth, which is that they have no case and simply wasted funds and time.
In a personally signer statement, Uzodinma was full of appreciation to God, Ndi Imo and the Supreme Court.
Finally, he rededicated himself to the Service of Imo and its people.
Congratulatory messages have been like claps of thunder to Uzodinma from within and outside the State.
Following, the Governor’s statement.
“A few hours ago, the Supreme Court confirmed me as the duly elected Governor of Imo State, arising from the November 11th, 2023 governorship election.
“It is, therefore, 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.
“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.
“Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, Governor.”
