The governorship candidate of the Action Alliance in Imo State, Uche Nwosu has described the judiciary as the greatest defender of Nigeria’s constitution and democracy.
He said this against the background of the judgement of the Federal High court, Abuja, which ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a Certificate of Return to the immediate past governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, as the Senator-elect for Imo West constituency.
Nwosu who spoke with journalists in Owerri, said that the judiciary had continued to “preserve our democracy.”
He said “The judiciary has shown that it is the last hope of the common man. The landmark judgment has shown that no matter how hard you try to suppress the truth, justice will always prevail”.
He expressed confidence that Okorocha would do well in the Senate having understood the challenges of the people of the state while he served as the governor of the state for eight years.
Nwosu, who enjoined all those who lost to Okorocha to team up with him for the growth of the state, said that Okorocha was the best material for the senatorial district.
Nwosu is also Okorocha’s son-in-law.
