Imo: We Will No Longer Tolerate Uzodinma’s Reign Of Terror, He Must Return Atiku’s Vehicles – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has condemned the alleged brutal assault on its members and the violent confiscation of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s campaign vehicles.

Collins Opurozor, the party’s Publicity Secretary, demanded that the vehicles of its presidential candidate be released immediately in a statement issued in Owerri on Monday.

Opurozor claimed that the state’s governor, Hope Uzodinma, has launched a terror campaign against Atiku and every member of the PDP in the state.

The statement reads;

This full-blown campaign of terror, which the failed, corrupt and fascist regime of Senator Uzodinma, has levied against our popular presidential candidate and every member of our Party in Imo State, is deeply provocative and intolerable, and it is a clear invitation to anarchy.

This unelected governor must stop beating the drums of war!

For five consecutive months, Senator Uzodinma and his henchmen have jettisoned all pretenses to governance. They have instead openly deployed state resources and all the instruments of state power to intimidate, hound and attack prominent opposition leaders in the State.

The opposition claimed that their senatorial candidate’s campaign office in Owerri Zone was attacked in broad daylight and sealed up in a gestation operation directly commanded by certain government officials.

They also claimed that all of their candidate’s campaign billboards in Ideato Federal Constituency were destroyed.

Opurozor bemoaned the plight of Local Government employees, alleging that they are on the verge of death as a result of Uzodinma’s bankruptcy.

The party questioned the whereabouts of N127 billion transferred to Imo State Local Governments from the Federation Account while he was in charge.

As far as Imo PDP is concerned, the resort to wreaking havoc on the campaign vehicles of our presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, carting away the buses, looting everything in them, and now demanding that over Sixteen Million Naira (16,000,000) must be paid before any PDP campaign vehicle would be seen on the roads of Imo State, have betrayed the outgoing regime’s penchant for criminality and unbridled avarice. Also, his phobia for our great Party, the PDP, cannot be hidden any longer, the statement added.
