No fewer than 1000 Catholic priests and Reverend Sisters working in the Okigwe zone yesterday met at the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State to pray for the re-election of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
The meeting which took place a day after Uzodimma’s re-election campaign was kicked off at the Dan Anyiam Stadium Owerri was also consistent with the endorsements by different groups for the governor’s reelection.
At the prayer session which took place at a APC stalwart, Chief Tony Chukwu’s home, the Catholic priests and the Reverend Sisters were in agreement that Governor Uzodimma has acquitted himself well and deserves to be returned to the office in November 11 to continue with the good work he has been doing.
Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Okigwe, Most Rev Solomon Amatu, who presided over the prayer session said that he was a “witness” to the meeting.

According to him, the re-election of Uzodimma was non-negotiable while assuring them of the governor’s support and recognition before, during and after his victory for another term of four years.
