Speaking while receiving a delegation of leaders from Owerri Zone at the Government House in Owerri, Uzodimma emphasized the need for a transparent and democratic selection process.
The governor reiterated that the Imo Charter of Equity, which he initiated to foster inclusivity and fairness in the rotation of power among the state’s three zones, should serve only as a guiding principle — not an automatic ticket.
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,” Uzodimma explained.

He cautioned that if due process is ignored, Imo could end up with a leader who lacks spiritual and moral grounding. “If we don’t, the man coming after me may not be as religious and God-fearing as I am,” he added.
