He also preached forgiveness and reconciliation of all, urging his supporters to forgive all those that may have offended them in anyway, assuring that he would reconcile all stakeholders in the area, irrespective of political and party affiliation.

The governor-elect said, “We must use ISOPADEC funds to develop our place. We shall end the practice of sharing of ISOPADEC funds. We shall take care of our women, youth and elderly. We will touch the lives of our people.

“Our brothers shall no longer be used as thugs. We shall not steal your money. If it is about money, we would not have won this election. We earned the confidence and trust of Imo people. We will ensure that the trust is sustained.”
