Subsequently, the Chief of Staff to the Government of Imo State, Hon. Kenneth Ejiogu who moderated the session used the opportunity to thank the people of Imo State for the great and unimaginable confidence they have on Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, noting that the fact that he has not yet assumed office to be the Chief Servant Leader in the State is a matter of time and will soon come to pass by the grace of God.

The President of the Association, Hon. Jude Nkpado also noted that the foundation has already mapped out resources more than enough to ensure that the stolen mandate is reclaimed.

According to him, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu won the election and met all the requirements and conditions as stipulated by law and should be declared winner.

In his words, "Imolites came out en masse and voted  Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, the Action Alliance Candidate. The decision of Imolites who spoke through the ballot papers should be respected and not sacrificed on the alter of sentiment. Election is a contest that has a procedure. Anything short of that is illegal and should not be allowed to stand".

Continuing, "we are ready and will stand with Ugwumba Uche Nwosu alongside Imolites to ensure that the illegality is not allowed to ruin the future of the State", he added.

Responding, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu thanked them for the visit while assuring them that God is still in charge of the matter.

He commended them on the efforts so far to keep encouraging him, noting that the kinsmen like them are his strenght.

Chief Nwosu further informed them that the matter is already in the Tribunal. He expressed confidence that the Judiciary which is the last hope of the common man will do justice to the matter as evidence  abound including the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria, Section 179(2,3,4).

He charged them to remain focused and stop blame game."What we need now is to remain focused, calculative and proactive. Blames should be put behind, rather where we had mistakes, we improve on them", he added.

"We should show capacity now no matter the inconveniences. Imolites are looking up on us and we can't afford to disappoint them but to be holistic and meticulous in pursuant of this justice", he opined.

Others present were,Hon Evang. Clifford Eze Pastor Betty Ijeuru Emenike Uzoma, Hon. Esther Ejiogu, Rt. Hon. Jude Osuala,Hon.Osita Nwadike and Hon Nwadike Chikezie.
