We’ll no longer tolerate any protest against peace in Imo – Uzodinma

Uzodinma, who spoke during a solidarity rally organized by the National Union of Road Transport Workers and Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), warned that government would no longer fold its arms and watch any group under any guise trample upon the peace of the state.

He, however, reassured Imo residents that his administration was for peace and service, would be ready to provide equal opportunities for the overall development of the state and its residents regardless of cadre and status as the government would not condone any act of marginalization or unruly attitude.

He said: “Government will do all within the ambits of the law to maintain peace and order; those who are engaging in these incessant protests must stop forthwith. I took an oath to maintain peace and protect the lives and property of the citizens, I will not fail to deal with any group causing breach of the peace in the state.

“There will be no marginalization against you. Whatever anybody can do I’m sure you can do it, you’ll be given equal opportunities; so I implore you to go on and be happy because this is your government.”

However, in a communiqué, NURTW chairman in the state, Comrade Izuchukwu Okebaram said that “Senator Uzodinma’s victory at the apex court in the land is an act of God and a bold step by the judiciary towards restoration of justice as well as re-enactment of the supremacy of Nigeria’s Constitution.”
