The Youth Wing of Ohaneze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, has begged Imolites, especially youths, to stay calm over the Supreme Court’s judgment on the governorship election in the state.
The National Youth Leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Arthur Obiora, revealed this as he spoke to newsmen in Enugu on political development in Imo.
According to Arthur, amid the judgment and reaction, the people must maintain peace.
He added that even if they don’t agree with the judgment, Imo residents must not forget to be law-abiding and responsible citizens.
His words, “Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing is asking for calmness in the whole of Imo”.
“We may not agree with the Supreme Court’s judgment however, we're duty-bound as law-abiding and responsible citizens to accept it.
“We ask the new government to ensure that it keeps its campaign promises made to the good people of Imo at the end of the day.
“Ohaneze believes that good governance is all about bringing the dividends of democracy to the people.
“And the very best of good governance is what the peace-loving people and residents of Imo want now.”
