As more reactions trail the recent supreme court judgement on the outcome of the Imo State governorship election, an elder statesman, Chief Christopher Okonkwo has described the judgement as a big embarrassment to the people of the South South and South East.
Chief Okonkwo, who said this in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt said the judgement has exposed the absurdity in the nation’s judicial system.
“Honestly, there is no right thinking person in Imo State including the South South that is happy over the Supreme Court verdict that nullified Hon. Emeka Ihedioha’s emphatic victory at the 2019 poll.
“Imagine, a situation where all women in Imo State took to the major roads in Owerri, wearing black dresses in demonstration of their displeasure over the Supreme Court judgement.
“Infact, one would have expected that the worst scenario the Supreme Court could have done was to order for a re-run election between Emeka Ihedioha and Hope Uzodinma, to enable the Imo people go to the poll to make their rightful choice.
He nevertheless urged the good people of Imo State to remain calm and continue to affirm faith in God who knows everything that played out at the Supreme Court, believing that the truth will unveil one day.
“Truly, I stand to be corrected that Hon. Emeka Ihedioha would have been a better choice to transform Imo State speedily, given his wealth of administrative experience at the national level, having seen and tested the likes of Ikedi Ohakim and Rochas Okorocha in the past and nothing much was achieved in terms of development in Imo State.
“Regrettably, I mince no words to say that Imo State people seem to be unlucky for not getting good performing Governors since after Achike Udenwa. All the same, I have the belief that Emeka Ihedioha would have been the answer to Imo State people prayer, if not for the unfortunate development that croped up.
