From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri
A group under the aegis of the Ground Game for Hope (GGH) has insisted that the Imo charter of Equity would enthrone peace in Imo State if embraced by all the zones in the state.
Leader of the group, Chief Jerry Chukwueke, who disclosed this on Monday during the grand finale of the Owerri North tour campaign for governor Hope Uzodimma, also added that it would tackle the present security challenges in the state.
Chukwueke, who was addressing members of his ward at Awaka in Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State, explained that if Uzodimma is supported by other zones to return as governor, he would, in turn, ensure that the next person to take over from him comes from Owerri, in line with the agreement reached by the stakeholders in the state.
“All hands must be on deck to ensure that we support this charter of equity. It will bring peace and development to our state. No zone will quarrel with each other again. Already, we have asked the candidates from the Owerri zone to allow those from Orlu contest; it will be their turn in 2027.
“Elders’ council, professionals, clergy, and stakeholders, have all agreed that there would be zoning. It is already happening in Enugu, Anambra and Ebonyi; now is the turn of Imo State. After Uzodimma, somebody from Owerri zone will take over. We need peace and development in Imo State. Our governor is already demonstrating peace with the choice of his deputy governorship candidate as a woman.Charter of equity is poised at repositioning Imo.
“Owerri alone cannot drag the governorship with nine local governments, so it needs the partnership of the other zones. We have agreed that only Owerri zone should contest in 2027, and the only man to drive the charter is Uzodimma because he has the commitment and capacity.
“To manage insecurity, we would support him to win massively. We would continue to fight insecurity. He is equal to the task. The problem can not be solved overnight, and that’s why the charter of equity is important as it is rotated among the zones.
“Let’s not also forget what he has done, and attracted to Imo, like the dredging of the Urashi River, Skillup Imo project, which has graduated 15,000 persons with start up kits, network of roads, education, and hospitals among others,” Chukwueke said.
