Imo: Uzodinma explains why he inaugurated Imam
The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has declared he’s a governor of both Christians and Muslims in the State.Addressing journalists in Abuja yesterday, the governor stated that the imam, who visited him was a native of Mbaise and a relative of ex-governor Emeka Ihedioha and not an Emir as been speculated.
He said, “The visit by the Muslim community in Imo State to me was a welcomed one. The new imam is a native of Mbaise, not a northerner. He is a relation of Emeka Ihedioha. I am a governor of both Christians and Muslims. “So, we should shun everything that will bring division in society. There are more people from the East that are also Muslims and some Muslims were born in the East and do not know any other place apart from the East.
Meanwhile, the apex court had adjourned the ruling in the controversial gubernatorial judgment in Imo state to Tuesday, March, 3.
