The former Deputy Governor’s message was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media & Publicity, Uche Onwuchekwa.
Prince Madumere also urged Imolites to be calm and throw their weight behind Sen Hope Uzodinma and Prof Placid Njoku as the two have vowed to work for the prosperity of the state and improve the living standard of the people.
He also called on Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and his team to take the apex court review in good faith, saying that what is at stake is the welfare of the people of the state.
I heartily congratulate Senator Uzodinma for his affirmation as the validly elected Governor of Imo State. With this I believe that the much needed stability and tranquility that will usher in the atmosphere of prosperity has been attained.
With the olive branch extended to the other party and in the spirit of sportsmanship, we should drop our fighting armour and embrace one another for the sake of Imo people and move on for a greater Imo.
The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, declined to restore Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the Governor of Imo State.
The apex court, in a decision by a seven-man panel of Justices led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad, reinstated the judgment it gave on January 14, which declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressive Congress, APC, as the validly elected governor of Imo state.
In the lead verdict that was delivered by Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the apex court held that Ihedioha’s application to set aside the judgment that removed him from office lacked merit.
