Nwosu Promises To Work With Uzodinma

The 2019 governorship candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) in Imo State, Uche Nwosu has denied reports claiming he is heading to the Supreme Court to challenge the court order which declared Senator Hope Uzodinma of the APC as the duly elected governor of the state.

Some reports yesterday claimed Nwosu, son-in-law to Senator Rochas Okorocha, a former governor of Imo State had plans to approach the Supreme Court to declare him the authentic winner of the 2019 governorship election in the state.

However, reacting to the rumours in a statement signed by his media assistant, Nwadike Chikezie, Nwosu described the claim as total lies.

The statement noted, “This is to inform the good people of Imo State and the general public to disregard the rumor making round internet and other Media platforms that Ugwumba Uche Nwosu has once again approached the Supreme Court, asking the Apex Court to remove Senator Hope Uzodimma as the Governor and be declared the winner of the 9th March, 2019 Guber Election.

“The story is false, ridiculous and from pit of hell perpetuated by those who are opposed to political Peace and stability in Imo State.

“Without mincing words, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is a man of superficial integrity who has great respect for our Party, APC and the people of Imo State.

“His intention to govern Imo State was not borne on desperation and at such sees nothing to be the reason to sacrifice the political peace and stability in the State.

The statement added that Nwosu remains committed to supporting the APC and joining hands with other stakeholders to build Imo State.

“Ugwumba Uche Nwosu has given his words of acceptance to the outcome of the December, 20, 2019 of the Supreme Court and still stands by it.

“Recall that in his statement, he pledged to support whoever that will emerge victorious at the end of Supreme Court Judgement and by the grace of God, ‘Senator Hope Uzodimma has the emerged and I owe him my full support both as a party Man and as an Imolite.‘

“Ugwumba Uche Nwosu also wrote; ‘Let me quickly clarify that I will not go back on my commitment to our great Party, the All Progressives Congress and Imo people on supporting the administration of His Excellency Senator Hope Odidika Uzodimma, the duly affirmed governor of Imo State.‘

“In the light of the above, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu is calling on all and sundry, especially Imolites both home and abroad to join hands in moving Imo State to the next level.

“Similarly, he is very happy, comfortable and relaxed with the peace and reconciliation in the Party APC and will not be opposed to it .

“We want to use this medium to reach out to the mischief Makers and those whose stock in trade is to malign good personality to try next door as the door of ugwumba uche nwosu is for Peace and progress.”
