“Imo People Have Emerged Victorious” – Buhari Reacts To Supreme Court Judgment

President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the Supreme Court for declaring Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship election in Imo State.

KanyiDaily had reported that the Supreme Court in a unanimous judgment cancelled the election of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as governor of Imo state and declared APC’s Hope Uzodinma, who came fourth in the March 9 governorship poll, as the winner.

A statement issued by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu quoted Buhari as saying:

“The road to justice may be long and tortuous, but it is the best path for anyone aggrieved.

“Under the new administration, a new journey to build a new Imo with new energy is about to begin. In this outcome, it is the people of Imo State who have emerged victorious,” he said.

In congratulating the new governor, President Buhari urged Uzodinma to promote the ideals of the APC and unite the state by running an inclusive administration.

 

Meanwhile, Reverend Father Ejika Mbaka is currently trending on Nigeran Twitter because his New Year prophecy has come to pass.

During his new year message, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry in Enugu State declared that Hope Uzodimma will take over Imo State.
