Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, has warned that his
successor might not be religious and God fearing like him.
Uzodimma disclosed this while addressing a delegation of
leaders from Owerri Zone who visited him at the Government House in Owerri on
Wednesday.
The governor stressed that the selection process of his
successor must be transparent and democratic.
Uzodimma said although he initiated the Imo Charter of
Equity to promote inclusivity and fairness in the rotation of power among the
state’s three zones, the charter would only serve as a guiding principle and
not an automatic ticket.
He said: “The Charter of Equity is not a slogan for
confusion. It is a document to remind us of the imbalance in the system and see
how best to correct it.
“But it must work hand in hand with democratic processes.
You must join me now for us to cure this confusion.
“If we don’t, the man coming after me may not be as
religious and God-fearing as I am.”
