Sequel to the news flying that the Imo State Governor,Sen. Hope Uzodinma is running for the position as President Mohamadu Buhari’s successor in 2023 general elections, the attention of Imo state government has been drawn to all the rumours making the rounds.
To that effect, from the press statement made available to the public by the Imo Commissioner for Information, Hon Declan Emelumba, it reads, ” The Executive Governor of the State, His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodinma has never made his interests known and he has never joined the presidential race;
There is no truth whatsoever in those speculations which are the handiwork of a desperate and idiotic opposition hell bent on distracting the governor from delivering on his mandate to imo people”.
The Statement further states, “The Governor has neither contemplated contesting for the presidency nor informed anyone of such intention;
Apart from being preoccupied with the delivering of democracy dividends to the people and making their lives meaningful, Uzodinma is committed to serving out his tenure satisfactory;
Imo people and all political associates of the governor nationwide should disregard the malicious rumours as a vain attempt to smear the name of Uzodinma”, The Information Commissioner submitted.
The press release was therefore signed by Emelumba, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Imo State on Wednesday,Feb.9th 2022.
