A former governor Imo State, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim has called on the electorate in the state to elect the incumbent governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma for second term
in the November 11 governorship election in order to guarantee the implementation of Imo charter of equity.
Ohakim stated this in his Owerri residence while interacting with newsmen, adding that the Imo charter of equity which started in 1998 was only truncated by 2011 by Senator Rochas Okorocha. He maintained that it is only the incumbent governor, Uzodimma that can implement the charter to the fullest, having only one more term to complete his constitutionally guaranteed eight years in office.
Ohakim, who traced the historical background of the charter however, blamed the collapse on the lies sold to the Imo people by Okorocha that he would serve only one term as well as promoting false allegation against him of flogging a reverend father, hence the Catholics without proper investigation bought the lies which eventually truncated the charter of equity in the state.
According to him, “I totally agree with the elders who drafted the current charter with the proviso that its implementation will begin after the incumbent governor, Senator Uzodimma, would have completed his second term in 2028.
