The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Electronic and Creative Media to Imo State Governor has reiterated that His Excellency, Senator Hope Uzodimma has not endorsed any candidates for the upcoming council elections across the state.
Making this clarification, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu wrote on his Facebook account:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RE: False Claims of Endorsement by Governor Hope Uzodimma
For the umpteenth time, we are compelled to issue this press release to correct the misleading information circulating on social media and other platforms, claiming that the executive governor of Imo State, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, has endorsed certain aspirants in a purported endorsement lists in circulation for the forthcoming Local Government Area (LGA) elections across the 27 LGAs and in 305 wards for councillorship positions in Imo State.
We want to categorically state that this claim is false and misleading. Governor Uzodimma has not endorsed any aspirant for the elections, neither privately nor publicly. There is no list of endorsed aspirants existing anywhere, and the Governor has not made any statements to that effect and will not make.
During the recent Imo State Stakeholder’s meeting, the Governor explicitly urged all aspirants to go meet the people for support and not wait for personal endorsement or emerge from his table. We urge the public to disregard any information suggesting that the Governor has endorsed certain aspirants, as this is not the case.
We want to emphasize that the Governor is a true democrat who would allow true democracy ethos to thrive and committed to a free and fair election and will not influence the outcome. We therefore advise the public to discontinuance with such false information and instead focus on the issues and qualifications of the aspirants for consideration for election at the appropriate time.
Ambrose Nwaogwugwu,
SSA Electronic and Creative Media to Imo State Governor.
