Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has issued a challenge to leaders in Owerri Zone, urging them to come together and form a united front with the goal of succeeding him in 2027, once he completes his second term in office.
Reiterating his commitment to honoring the Imo Charter of Equity and acknowledging the substantial support his administration has received from Owerri Zone during his re-election, Governor Uzodimma made this commitment during the Owerri Zone youth and women endorsement rally, which took place on Friday, October 27, 2027, at Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu Square, New Owerri.
He recalled that the Imo Charter of Equity is for unity, peace and fairness to all the zones and that he will use his office and political networks to implement it.
The governor urged the zone to unite for peace, to attract local and foreign direct investments to the area, noting that “unity will bring prosperity, cure poverty, provide jobs that will engage the youths and reduce violence in the zone and Imo State in general.”
Uzodimma called on the youths to shun violence, vandalism and destructions “because such behaviour will not bring anything good, rather it will bring destruction and stigmatisation to them.”
He appealed to Owerri Zone leaders, youths and women to tell those sponsoring violence in Imo State to stop and allow peace to reign. “The youths should shun violence and those engaged in it because they are not our friends,” he said and pledged to continue to uphold the Nigerian project “because Nigeria is our heritage and Imo State will not abandon her heritage.”
He pleaded with everyone to unite in order to reap the gains of bigger Nigeria.
