- The PDP conveyed these concerns in a statement released by Lancelot Obiaku, the Director General of the New Media of the PDP
Leading up to the governorship election in Imo State this weekend, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has accused Governor Hope Uzodimma of squandering the time of the state’s residents.
The opposition party contends that Uzodimma has failed to address the fundamental challenges of the state, instead contributing to insecurity and unemployment.
The PDP conveyed these concerns in a statement released by Lancelot Obiaku, the Director General of the New Media of the PDP, urging the people of the state to reject Uzodimma on November 11 and cast their votes for the PDP candidate, Samuel Anyanwu.
The statement reads in part, “Recently, we interrogated the sole campaign material of the outgoing governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, and his enslaved supporters, which is the falsehood from the pit of hell that under his fascist regime, Imo bad roads have been fixed.
“Funnily enough, they were using the reconstruction of two federal roads in the state, Owerri-Orlu and Owerri-Okigwe roads, as the springboard to sell the ugly propaganda.
“However, following our intervention and our presentation of the dire state of Imo’s road infrastructure to the world, the truth has become evident to everyone in Imo State. This includes diasporans, who were previously deceived into believing otherwise.
“It has become clear that Uzodimma has done very little in this regard, and the two road projects in question were funded and carried out by the Federal Government, with the state government playing a supervisory role. Imo’s residents are not as gullible as Uzodimma and his associates may have thought.
“Defeated and disarmed, Uzodimma found himself without any substantial achievements to campaign on, resulting in him making promises as though he were running for governor for the very first time. It’s important to note that this is indeed his first genuine governorship election, as in 2019, he essentially seized power.
“Shamelessly, after four years in office, Uzodimma is telling Ndi Imo that he WILL create jobs, he WILL bring medicare – whatever that means, he WILL restore the school system, among other unimaginably petty promises.
“The significant question arises: If Uzodimma has spent four years without addressing a single impassable road, failing to generate employment opportunities, and neglecting healthcare, what exactly has he been occupying the Government House for?”
But the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state, Cajetan Duke, said that the PDP candidate had nothing to offer the people of the state.
He however said that Uzodinma had performed well to deserve a reelection.
