The election of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state was on Friday affirmed by the Supreme Court.
Reacting afterwards, Ikpeazu said the victory is a re-affirmation of the mandate given to him by the people.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Enyinnaya Appolos, he said only God will take glory for the victory. He also commended the judiciary for standing firm on the side of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“The time for politics is long over, and I have forgiven all those that were bent on distracting me. Let all well meaning Abians, including my opponents, come and join us to grow and develop our state without distractions as we ultimately have stakes in the growth and development of our state and people.
“Today, there is the work of Abia to do and history will judge us by how much of that work we do, not by how much politics we play. My doors are open to all, my ears are open to hear and my eyes are strong enough to read suggestions on how we can best deliver greater dividends to those who really matter: the great people of Abia State.”
