The Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma on Wednesday gifted 20 SUV vehicles to Judges in Imo State.
The Governor made this known during a courtesy visit by the Judges. He said that the gesture was necessary so as to bring about a harmonious working relationship between the judiciary and the other arms of government in Imo State. He stated that dividends of democracy can only be delivered to the people when the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of government are working harmoniously.
Governor Uzodimma presented vehicle gifts of 20 brand new Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) to the serving Judges as a way of motivating them to work. He noted that Imo State Judges have not been treated well by past administrations and pledged to change the narrative.
The Governor who did not only stop at presenting vehicles to the Judges, also offered to take care of the outstanding entitlements of the retired Judges and ensure that other retiring ones get their entitlements a month or two after retirement, a record which has not happened in the history of Imo State.
She commended the Governor for making the Judiciary come alive again in the discharge of their duties as people entrusted with dispensing justice for the common man, promising not to be found wanting.
The Acting President of the Customary Court of Appeal of Imo State, Justice Matthew Njoku praised the Governor for his magnanimity to the judiciary in such a short period.
Njoku thanked Governor Uzodimma for “wiping away their tears and removing the shame they have faced in the past before their counterparts from other States.” He prayed for God’s guidance and protection for the Governor.
