Imo PDP Can’t Slide Under me as Guber Candidate – Anyanwu
- Insists over 4, 000 Imo APC Members Joining PDP in Few Days
Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in Imo State has assured that the party will never slide into extinction under him as the standard bearer in the November 11, 2023 election.
The puerile allegation was purportedly contained in a statement credited to the Publicity Secretary of APC in Imo state, Cajetan Duke. The party was reacting to a harmless statement made by Senator Anyanwu while addressing party members during a stakeholders meeting on Tuesday. The party Guber candidate had said; “members of other political parties in the State have been joining PDP since my emergence as the candidate of the party.”
Piqued by that sincere statement, the toxic, vicious and insensitive All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State played down on reasonable, factual and convincing response but rather resorted to “iko onu”, name calling that “Senator Anyanwu is not only a huge joke as a governorship candidate but a comprehensive definition of gubernatorial caricature.”
The APC statement further asserts that, “Beyond the provocative incompetence of Samdaddy Anyanwu and his gross lack of governorship finesse and charisma, he doesn’t have the required character, capacity, tenacity, experience, track record and popularity to displace Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma as the governor of Imo State billed for November 11, 2023.”
For the avoidance of doubt, looking at the present APC level of pettiness and juvenile outburst in issues of public importance, it goes ahead to confirm the doubt that the party and its porous and repulsive administration in the state are heading to collision and obviously, at the verge of extinction having brought afflictions and penury to Imo people.
It is quite shameful that up till now, the party and its members are yet to know or come to reality that Hope Uzodinma lacks the requisite character expected of an occupier of such sensitive position as Governor to pilot the affairs of the state having only demonstrated his relevance in thuggery, bullying and rigging election all his life.
If Hope Uzodinma has the needed character as claimed by his party, why was he arrested for issuing dud cheque to a business partner, and why was he bundled and arraigned by security agents few years ago over his involvement in election malpractice? The question is, up till date, what has changed in him, which election has he won on the basis of free, fair and credible poll? The obvious truth is that, Uzodinma has never won any election in his life, rather, he has remained a product of illegality, and a fall out of a hijacked and imposed victory.
The truth of the matter is that the PDP Governorship candidate, Senator Samuel Anyanwu will dislodge him and the APC in the November 11, 2023 election as available records show that he has maintained a clean slate of victory on the altar of free, fair and credible elections.
To shock them, over 4, 000 APC members in the state have concluded plans to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Their reception will hold in the state in few days from now. This will show the party and its leaders that no person desirous of a safer Imo will ever wish to remain in APC or identify with such party, considering the number of innocent lives that have being wasted under the party’s administration in the state.
The question is, if Imo people, especially the youths could be wasted this way without any sincere show of remorse, and seriousness to curb the menace just within three years of this administration, what then happens to Imo people if the APC administration is re-elected? Your guess is as good as mine!
Imo Shall Be Safe Again!
