The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said Imo State governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, cannot win any election in free, fair, transparent and credible election in the State.
According to the opposition party, PDP claimed APC have been rejected by the good people of Imo State and that he has no fighting chance against the PDP candidate, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
In a statement released and signed by the PDP National publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, stressed that Uzodimma has never won an election in Imo State and had never enjoyed the support of the people.
In his words:“The APC knows that it does not have the mandate of the people. Governor Uzodimma has no visible organic support base in any part of Imo State. He has never won in any election in the State because he is detached from the people, including in his home, Orlu zone.
“The indicators are clear and the November 11, 2023 election will not be different. Governor Uzodimma will not win in any Polling Unit in a free, fair and transparent election because Imo people have found a credible, sincere, humane and approachable leader in Senator Anyanwu.
“That is why the APC has been resorting to violence and intimidation of innocent citizens, destruction of property and devising various means to frustrate opposition parties in the electoral process and to compromise institutions of democracy, having realized that it cannot win in a peaceful, free and fair contest.
“But I can assure you that the people of Imo State are bigger than the APC and they are resolved to resist the APC particularly in the coming election” Ologunagba stated.
Stressing further, Debo Ologunagba said that Sen. Anyanwu enjoys the highest spread of support across Imo State.
He reiterated PDP’s demand for the immediate removal of the Imo State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Prof. Sylvia Agu as a guarantee for an impartial, free, fair and credible governorship election in Imo State.
