Uche Nwosu finally meets Uzodinma after ceaseless efforts, phone calls

The saying that only interest is permanent in politics is beginning to play out in less than 3 days after Hope Uzodinma’s swearing-in as Governor of Imo State.

Recall that former Imo governor, Rochas Okorocha and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu had abused Uzodinma during the campaign period, calling him names.

In one of his outings, Okorocha had described Uzodinma as HIV and later told Imo people that he had not address.

On the dawn of Uzodinma’s searing-in, Okorocha and son-in-law struggled all the way to not just only catch a glimpse of the new governor but to congratulate him. They struggle all the way, came back in a chattered flight to cheer him.

According alegal practitioner, mr. Ifeanyi Olumba, he wondered how people have lost shame to the extent on playing such a joke. He expressed surprised how Okorocha could have the temerity to struggle to have a handshake with a man he once called a vagabond.

NewsTrack has it on good authority that Okorocha’s son-in-law has called Governor Uzodinma so irritatingly for over a one thousand and one times. In a bid to have some peace Uzodinma was said to have told his aides to give him some room so see him.

ForBarr. Iyk Nwaopara, he expressed anger at the way and manner the enemies of the people are swirling like soldier ants to own Uzodinma.

He warned Governor Uzodinma to be wary of Okorocha and family because of the pains he inflicted on the people.

“I wonder what Okorocha is doing with Uzodinma. I hope is not for him to give him protection against all the plundered Imo commonwealth. I call on Hope Uzodinma to hold to account for their misdeeds.”

According to Vangaurd report, the son-in-law to former governor Rochas Okorocha, Uche Nwosu, on Saturday met with the governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodinma. It was reported that the meeting was to solidify supports for Uzodinma.

Joining Nwosu, in the meeting to meet Uzodinma, was his core supporters as well as some state lawmakers.

Top among them is the House of Representatives members representing Ideato North and South, Paschal Obi.

Also, the state lawmakers representing Isu and Njaba state, constituencies, Ngozi Obiefule and Uju Onwudiwe.

A source told Vanguard that “The end to the infighting is gradually coming to an end and Imo is gradually becoming one and nobody should divide Imo again.

“Not only that Nwosu has visited Uzodinma, but many people across political parties have also visited the governor, forget the noise they are making.

The most important thing now is moving the state forward and that is the spirit. “We cannot have two governors in Imo. Let us join hands together. They have met and discuss the way forward and the only interest there is for Imo state to be better and nothing more.” He added:

“I believe something good is about to happen in the state and everyone is advised to join in this train of progress. Soon, we will here for the details from next week. You will start to see the desired change in the state.”

However, Vanguard was not told whether Uzodinma and Nwosu discussed anything about the change of leadership in the Imo state House of Assembly.

The current leadership was led by a lawmaker who decamped from the All Progressives Grand Alliance to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, just to get the speakership position.
