Governor has stated that he will not handpick his successor, emphasizing that the selection process must be democratic.
Hope Uzodimma
Responding to Owerri zone leaders who expressed support for his choice of candidate, Uzodimma clarified that while the Charter of Equity designed to ensure fair power rotation among the state’s three zones and serves as a guide, it does not guarantee automatic selection. He urged Owerri zone to collaborate with other zones and follow democratic norms to achieve their governorship aspirations. Uzodimma stressed that the Charter aims to correct governance imbalances but warned against misinformation. He encouraged leaders to focus on improving security, health, and economic well-being rather than premature campaigning.
The Owerri delegation, led by Chief Charles Amadi, expressed unity and support for the Charter, commending Uzodimma’s leadership and infrastructure projects while pledging to back any chosen candidate.
