Ihedioha Still Mystified, But Faith In God Unshaken

Emeka Ihedioha says the Supreme Court judgment which sacked him as governor of Imo State remains a mystery to him but that his faith in God remains unshaken.

Speaking when he received a delegation of the National Working Committee, NWC of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in his Abuja residence, the former governor also rebuked some celebrating the decision saying that they were ignorant of history.

Ihedioha was, however, not depressed when he received the PDP delegation as he moved about cheerfully during the interaction.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the interaction, he said:

“I believe that that event will define obviously our democracy. I am certain that the judiciary and electoral system are well aware that they are on trial.

“We are as shocked as yourselves; it (judgment) was never anticipated. All legal pundits and democratic watchers never imagined and anticipated it, so for us, it remains a mystery. But we take solace in the Book of Ecclesiastics 3:1 that to everything, there is a season and time for every purpose under heaven.

“The results were very clear, the electoral umpire still have the results, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has stated clearly that the results in question and the figures are not summing up.

“It is not about Emeka Ihedioha, it is not about Imo state. It is about the future of our country and democracy. It’s about what do we do tomorrow. Do you go into an electoral process without having an idea?

Affirming his unshaken confidence in God, he said:

“We are faithful believers in God and God does not sleep. This will make history in many ways and so this is a historical process, historical action, and I am sure there will be historical answers at the end of the day.

Also chiding those who celebrated the development, he said:

“This is not the time to celebrate, I pity anyone who is celebrating that sad event. If anyone is celebrating, that person is not a student of democracy.”

Before then, Prince Uche Secondus, the national chairman of the party had charged the country’s eminent personalities to speak out on the issue.

“Very eminent people are not speaking out. Today, it is at the door of Imo, tomorrow it will be at the door of another person. So people must speak out. The truth is what we are seeking,” he said.
