The Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, Thursday, restated the commitment of member-elect, Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere, to the development of Ideato North.
The group thanked the people for trooping out en masse to cast their votes for Ugochinyere, assuring that he would fulfill his promises to them.
CUPP, in a statement signed by its National Co-Spokesperson, Mr. Mark Adebayo, said: “Despite the bumps, thorns and thistles thrown his way to scuttle his victory by evil state actors in Imo State, Ugochinyere emerged victorious by overwhelming majority of the votes cast.
“We congratulate him and thank the patriotic and committed people of Ideato North who, despite intimidation and threats from antidemocratic forces in the Imo state government, decided to stay on the path of truth over falsehood, light over darkness. We cannot thank you enough for standing by your son who laid down his life for your liberation and the unprecedented development of your area that is coming soon.
“We appreciate all Imo State people and, indeed, all Nigerians of good conscience who stood by Ikenga in those desperate moments of the murderous onslaughts on him by known terrorists acting on behalf of state sponsors. We assure everyone that Ugochinyere will not disappoint his people as he will represent them well and good and bring the good things of life to that space and Nigeria at large. We appreciate the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for doing the right thing at Ideato despite the huge challenges and threats they had to face.
“The Coalition will continue to remain vigilant in our mandate to protect the fundamental principles of democracy and the rule of law across the board. We remain strong, united and indomitable.”
