Hope Uzodinma.

The attention of the Imo State Government has been drawn to rumours making the rounds that the Governor of the State, Senator Hope Uzodinma has joined the presidential race.

The state government says that there is no truth whatsoever in the rumours, as those speculations which according to the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, are the handiwork of a desperate and idiotic opposition hell bent on distracting the governor from delivering on his mandate to Imo people. 

The Governor has neither contemplated contesting for the presidency nor, informed anyone of such intention, but has been preoccupied with delivery of  democracy dividends to the people and making their lives meaningful, which are what Hope Uzodinma is committed to. 

The Commissioner therefore asked Imo people and all political associates of the governor nationwide to disregard the malicious rumours as a vain attempt to smear the name of Uzodinma.
