The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) elders in Imo State have reacted to the New Year prophecy of Catholic
priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka.
Mbaka had predicted that the
governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Hope
Uzodinma, will take over from Emeka Ihedioha as Imo Governor in 2020.
A statement on Tuesday signed by
Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, stated that the comment was contempt of the Supreme
Court which is expected to deliver judgment on the 2019 governorship election
in Imo.
The elders said: “INEC in honesty
and transparency in pursuit of its duty as the electoral arbiter, declared Hon.
Emeka Ihedioha of PDP the winner.
“Emeka Ihedioha scored the
highest number of votes and fulfilled all the other constitutional
requirements.
“This decision was received with
very loud ovation by Imo people who desperately needed to have a new beginning.
“Since then, Ihedioha has assumed
office and very noticeable progress has taken place in all aspects of life of
Imo people.
“The activities of Emeka Ihedioha
has been appraised on a regular basis and endorsed by a council of elders.
“These leaders were impressed
with the achievements of Emeka Ihedioha’s administration in the area of road
maintenance, water supply, security, payment of salaries and pensions to
retirees.
“We have absolute confidence in
the Supreme Court to uphold justice. We will therefore not take the lawless
part of declaring any party as winner”.
