Following the Supreme Court’s review of its earlier decision Tuesday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma
on the Court’s affirmation of his 2019 election victory.
“We are confident the Imo people have chosen the right man for the job. Our congratulations therefore goes to the good people of Imo State as they begin a new journey into prosperity under the capable watch of Governor Uzodinma” the statement added.
The party said it will always abide by the decisions of the apex court whether favourable or not.
“ As a law-abiding party, we believe in the sanctity of the rule of law and will always accept the decisions of the Apex Court, whether favourable or not. The APC will never choose the route of impugning on the integrity of our Judiciary, undermining other public institutions and threatening our democracy with unpatriotic utterances and actions.”
In the statement signed by Lanre Issa Onilu, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, the party also used the opportunity to stress the need for the National Assembly to embark on electoral and judicial reforms as a matter of urgency, in view of “recent developments in the polity”.
