Former Imo state Governor, Emeka Ihedioha says the Supreme Court judgment which declared Hope Uzodinma winner of the 2019 governorship election in the South-Eastern state came to him as a rude shock.
Ihedioha, in a statement said the judgment did not reflect the wishes of the people as expressed on Election Day; saying it is unfair.
He stated that he had put machineries in motion to hand-over the office to Uzodinma as the next governor, adding that the hand-over would be coordinated by the Secretary to the State Government, Uche Onyeaguocha.
He urged all political appointees to write their hand-over notes and also return all government property in their custody.
He said he would always cherish the support he got in the last seven months, adding that he sought to elevate merit, unity of purpose and transparency and inclusive approach to governance.
