“If institutions that are critical to the entrenchment of rule of law could thwart the wishes of the people in a cynical manner, where lies the future of our democracy? That was why I sought a review of the Supreme Court judgment. Even though justice was not served at the end, the well-articulated dissenting judgment delivered by His Lordship, Justice Centus Nweze, has vindicated our stand. I am sure that history and posterity will be kind to him,” he said.
Meanwhile, the governor, Hope Uzodinma, has promised to offer women equal opportunity in his government, adding that he intends to carry more women along in governance than his predecessors did.
