The Imo governorship election scheduled for November 11, 2023 has taken a more strategic step to establish its seriousness towards wrestling power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by Senator Hope Uzodimma.

The main opposition has rediscovered it’s voice and powers after going through internal wrangling passion by battle over who flies the flag of Imo PDP for governsnip election.

The Inauguration of the Imo PDP Governorship Campaign Council has nonetheless proven that the party can vote and that it is effectively on the race.

According to reports, the inauguration following the personalities that attended and have also taken up various responsibilities seem to have thrown Hope Uzodinma and All Progressive Congress into serious confusion as it that will mark their exit after the November 11 election in the state.

According to a statement issued by Hon. Ikenna Onuoha, the Director of Media And Publicity for the PDP Governorship Campaign Council, the event which held on Tuesday at the party’s state Secretariat, Owerri has the the presence of the opposition Spokesperson and member of the House of Representatives, Hon Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu as Director General, with Hon Ugonna Ozurigbo, Hon Ngozi Ogbu, Hon Mike Ihenaetu as Deputy Directors for Orlu, Okigwe and Owerri zones respectively, while, Prince Marshall Okafor Anyanwu serves as Secretary of the Council.

The reads in parts; “In a bid to secure the state, the campaign council was charged with the responsibility of retrieving the state from the vicious APC administration and ensure that Imo people that have been neglected are reintegrated into the mainstream of good leadership that will guarantee their respect.

“Uzodinma is not only afraid of defeat by our Governorship candidate, but is jittery that Imo people will revolt against him once he is outed from the Imo Government House. This is because he has failed to restore peace and quell the uprising in the state since his assumption of duty.

“It can be recalled that Imo PDP and our candidates, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu and Rt Hon Jones Onyereri had, few weeks ago issued sack notice to Hope Uzodinma and APC in the state after declaring the Governorship seat vacant.

“Imo state which is known for its peaceful and hospitality serenity is today torn into shreds since Hope Uzodinma and APC mounted the saddle of leadership in 2020.

“Following the harsh effects of the current reckless and inhuman administration under APC, Imo people rose in unity to enthrone a human oriented government, which 90% percent of the citizens have strongly cued in.

“The PDP Campaign Council has its partners cut across the Rescue Mission led by Senator Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the Destiny Organization headed by Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, and a frontline political structure owned by Capt. Emmanuel Iheanacho, amongst others. All the groups were prominently represented.

“It is regrettable that Uzodinma and his government deliberately destroyed the dignity of the state and as well ignored the excruciating hunger, anguish, moaning, starvation and incarceration of Imo people since his administration came on board.

“It is no longer in doubt that the emergence of Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Rt Hon Jones Onyereri as Governorship and Deputy Governorship candidates of PDP has caused heavy panic in the camp of Uzodinma and APC

“The PDP is only interested in bringing back the dignity of the state, restore hopes that have been shattered, inject life to moribund sectors, secure the state from the grip of insecurity, guarantee respect to humanity, and revive the badly destroyed economy of the state.

“Painfully, Uzodinma is doing little or nothing to achieve all these except working consciously to enrich himself with the taxpayers money, intimidate, harass and arrest dissecting voices against his government’s misrule.

Meanwhile, Evang. Mike Ikoku, the CEO of All Seasons Hotel, Boss FM, Mimi Spot, who was spotted at the event as one of the principal Officers of the campaign, has been variously hounded, harassed and intimidated by Hope Uzodimma led government are various times.

His hotel was shut down earlier in the year over alleged non payment of tax during COVID-19 shutdown.

Again parking lots demarcations and burglary protecting guests vehicles were knocked off, as the government alleged they were green verges.

When asked about what PDP government would do differently, he said, “First I am an Imo Son and cannot run away from my State. That is the reason we must find a way around the security situation in the state. We must arrest it because businesses are going down and our youths are losing hope with all the dreams and aspirations.

“Politics is only an altruistic engagement to make things right and most importantly to better the lots of the people.

“You are all aware of my contribution the development of the state. I have given Imo youths, especially the creative ones to excel. Today, most of them who used our platform and facilities are doing well all over the world.

” Mimi, a home of entertainment and hospitality is an incubation centre for artistes and other creative youths.

“We have a Radio station has employed Imo youths. Our hotel is one of the highest in remuneration if not the highest. You can see that we have been decongesting the streets.

” Today, people hardly come out for recreational activities. No more relaxation because of insecurity. Distinguish Senator Samuel Anyanwu is a team player and with his experience, PDP will solve this problem and the state will be returned to its peaceful state with progress.”
