Owerri Zone Gets Wake-Up Call from Governor Uzodimma: Unity is Key to 2027 Governorship Bid – Success Opara

At the recent meeting between political leaders of Owerri Zone (Imo East) and Governor Hope Uzodimma at Government House, Owerri, one thing stood out clearly, 2027 is not going to be business as usual.

The Governor made it clear that while the Charter of Equity is important, it should not be seen as an automatic ticket. Strategy, unity, and pragmatism must come first.

He openly acknowledged that Owerri Zone deserves a fair chance, just like other zones in the state. That statement alone is commendable. But he also gave very important advice: Don’t divide yourselves with multiple candidates. Don’t create confusion within the zone. Present one strong, credible, and electable candidate.

This is where the real work begins. Owerri Zone must learn from the past. If the leaders truly want 2027 to be different, they must put personal ambition aside and think about the collective interest of the zone and the future of Imo State. The opportunity is there. The support is declared.

The responsibility now lies with Owerri Zone. Owerri Zone deserves a chance. But they must also prove they are ready for it.
