The former federal Commissioner, National Population Commission, Imo State, Chief Emma Nwaogu, says Owerri Zone will fight collectively and effectively to reclaim Imo Governorship Seat in 2024.

Nwaogu, who was Commissioner during Emeka Iheduoha regime, noted that Owerri Zone worked hard, suffered and fought to democratically elect an Owerri Zone person, Emeka Ihedioha, as governor of Imo State in 2019, but the Supreme Court removed him and installed Uzodimma who came fourth in the election, alleging that “something was manipulated somewhere” because “what is wrong is wrong”.Nwaogu, who is a revered indigene of Ngor-Okpala, maintained that “it was a fact that Emeka Ihedioha was democratically elected as governor of Imo State in 2019, but the Supreme Court removed him and installed Uzodimma who came fourth in the election. Fact is fact. It is only in politics that people maneuver truth. For this, we will fight collectively and actively again to ensure that Owerri Zone regains its stolen power in Douglas House in 2023 or 2024”.
