A prominent APC aspirant for the Executive Chairmanship in Oru East, Hon. (Nze) Nyerere Ogbonna, has applauded the Supreme Court’s decision upholding Governor Hope Uzodimma’s victory in the last November off-cycle gubernatorial election in Imo state, calling it a true reflection of the will of the Imo people. Witnessing the historic ruling in Abuja alongside the Imo delegation, Ogbonna conveyed his contentment with the court’s ruling, seeing it as a vital milestone in the ongoing consolidation of good governance in the state.....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE
Speaking to news reporters right after the verdict, Hon. Ogbonna hailed the Supreme Court’s fairness and diligence in rejecting the cases that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) had filed against Governor Uzodimma. He stressed that the decision upholds the re-election of Governor Uzodimma as well as the faith that Imo people have in the current administration.
“This judgment is a welcome development for all well-meaning citizens of Imo State. It reaffirms the mandate given to Governor Uzodimma by the people and strengthens the foundation of the progress we are witnessing under his administration,” Ogbonna stated.
He further called on opposition parties to set aside their differences and rally behind the governor to ensure the continued development and prosperity of Imo State. “We ourselves have put the election behind us. We now call on the opposition parties to also do so and focus on moving our state forward. We must work together in the spirit of unity and cooperation to achieve the common goal of a better Imo for all, particularly consolidating the delivery of the shared prosperity agenda to every doorstep in Imo state,” Ogbonna urged.
Hon. Ogbonna made these statements in response to the Supreme Court’s decision few days ago when it dismissed the lawsuits brought by the Action People’s Movement (APM) and the Accord Party, as well as yesterday’s dismissal of the LP and PDP’s cases. The court’s rulings have essentially put an end to the legal issues surrounding Governor Uzodimma’s reelection, enabling his administration to move forward with improving Imo State’s welfare state without being hampered by new issues.
As he pursues his aspiration for the Executive Chairmanship in Oru East, Hon. Ogbonna’s unwavering backing of Governor Uzodimma and his call for the opposition parties to unite behind the governor demonstrate his commitment to promoting harmony and progress throughout the state.
