Much has been said and written about Hope Uzodinma, the Imo
state governor-elect, ever since his victory at the supreme court on January
14.
The apex court had sacked Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) as governor. It also affirmed Uzodinma of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to take over Ihedioha’s seat.
This was despite the fact that Uzodinma had placed fourth at
the March 9 governorship elections in the state.
In the wake of the heated debate over the apex court’s
ruling and the swearing-in of Uzodinma, Chioma, his wife, became the state’s
first lady.
At 30, she is considered the “youngest of her kind in the
history of the country”.
The Imo-born woman was raised by her parents alongside her
siblings, having hailed from Ideato local government area of Imo state.
Known as Chioma Ikeaka before walking down the aisle, she
had undergone her secondary education at the Dority International Secondary
School, Aba.
After having lived in Aba for years, Chioma had proceeded to
the Imo State University as a law student and, thereafter, finished from the
Nigerian Law School in Abuja.
It was during her stay in the law school that she reportedly
met the Uzodinma, who represented Imo-west senatorial zone at the 8th assembly.
As the romance blossomed, the duo eventually tied the knot
in 2015, after Uzodinma had broken up with Augusta, his first wife, whom he
married 17 years ago, and with whom he had five children.
Her marriage to the new governor-elect has so far been
blessed with three children.
Chioma has since been widely talked about ever since her
husband’s supreme court victory, with many calling on her to ensure execution
of life-changing projects.
