Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has been dumped like a bad habit by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Uche Aching Okpaga, Ohanaeze’s National publicity Secretary, said;

“I have been inundated with calls and text messages on a media report credited to Bar. Uche Okwukwu, the estranged Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to the effect that Ohanaeze supports Senator Hope Uzodinma of the APC who was recently declared as the governor of Imo state by the Supreme Court.”

“It is just very apt to say that Bar. Uche Okwukwu is gasping for media attention and finds Ohanaeze Ndigbo as a veritable “Okay” to quicken his velocity.”

“If at all such a story should be credited to Ohanaeze, it should also include Okwukwu’s status in Ohanaeze.”

“Recall that prior to the last presidential election, Bar. Okwukwu breached his duties and prostituted his office and powers including usurping the powers and duties of the President General as a result of which he was suspended indefinitely as Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.”

“I, therefore, implore Bar. Okwukwu to steer clear of Ohanaeze, enjoy his indefinite suspension and as well continue to lick his self inflicted political wounds.”

“Ohanaeze is not disposed to be dragged into this raging controversy at this time. All we expect is that the Supreme Court should be relied upon as a Court that respects the rule of law and not only dispenses justice but make justice seem to have been done.”

“One would expect that such controversies when they come from lower courts receive assuaging judgements based on the proper interpretation of law.”
