Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, was attacked Sunday
afternoon.
The incident occurred at Ohaji area of the state.
Upon the governor’s arrival at the area, youths of Mmahu
community repeatedly shouted “Onye Oshi Vote, Onye Oshi Vote” (meaning “stolen
votes” in Igbo language).
They threw bottles and sticks at the convoy.
Uzodinma’s bulletproof vehicle was damaged.
The governor could not attend the function he went for at
Ohaji.
His security details stopped him from alighting from his vehicle
due to the tensed atmosphere.
The operatives then made a detour and whisked Uzodinma away
to safety.
Meanwhile, former Imo governor, Emeka Ihedioha of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has spoken on the Supreme Court reaffirmation
of Uzodinma as the duly elected governor.
The apex court, last Tuesday, dismissed Ihedioha’s
application which urged it to review its earlier judgment in favour Uzodinma.
Ihedioha, in his reaction, quoted the words of the late
journalist, Dele Giwa, that “No evil deed will go unpunished”.
