Imo: My successor may not be religious, God-fearing like me – Gov Uzodimma

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, has warned that his successor might not be religious and God fearing like him.

Uzodimma disclosed this while addressing a delegation of leaders from Owerri Zone who visited him at the Government House in Owerri on Wednesday.

The governor stressed that the selection process of his successor must be transparent and democratic.

Uzodimma said although he initiated the Imo Charter of Equity to promote inclusivity and fairness in the rotation of power among the state’s three zones, the charter would only serve as a guiding principle and not an automatic ticket.

He said: “The Charter of Equity is not a slogan for confusion. It is a document to remind us of the imbalance in the system and see how best to correct it.

“But it must work hand in hand with democratic processes. You must join me now for us to cure this confusion.

“If we don’t, the man coming after me may not be as religious and God-fearing as I am.”
