After his term, Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma has hinted at what the people of Imo may expect from their future governor.

When Uzodimma met with political leaders from the Imo East Senatorial district, also known as the Owerri Zone, on Tuesday at Government House in Owerri under the auspices of the Owerri Harmony project, he provided the suggestion.

However, the governor reminded his guests that, excluding poisoning, he still had three years left to serve as their governor.

The former senator emphasized the significance of letting him finish his term in peace and warned that it was risky to overheat the political system.

He said, “I will not solve all the problems in Imo. I will do the ones I can do but the man coming after me should be able to do some. We will support merit. We must look for merit because we need a man who is courageous.

“You saw the insecurity that greeted my emergence. You see, by the grace of God, we were able to survive it, so what we need is a well-focused, bold, courageous man.

“That is My prayer for the kind of person who will be my successor. The person who may not be a troublemaker but must fight if a fight is necessary.”

“Very soon, external forces will approach you, tell you that you are the best candidate for governor, and even offer incentives.

“But after the elections, they will abandon you. We must differentiate between personal desires and collective interests.

“I am not discussing politics now because I still have three years in office unless, of course, you want to poison me here! Let us first create awareness, consult, reconcile, and unite. Politics should be pursued with love and understanding, not confrontation,” the governor said.

In his second term election, Uzodimma, who was elected governor of Imo State in the most contentious way, won by a landslide.
