The Imo State All Progressives Congress APC, under the leadership of Prince Marcillinus O. Nlemigbo has described the Recent People Democratic party release calling on Governor Uzodimma resignation as frivolous and laughable.
This was done after a press conference held at the Imo State APC Secretariat Okigwe road.
After the press conference, a release was issued to journalist who covered the briefing, the release has it that, The attention of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State chapter was yesterday drawn to the press release of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) Imo State, being a text of their press conference held on June 3, 2021 wherein they amongst other things called for the resignation of our performing governor, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, following the current security situation in the state.
The release continue, After a conscientious analysis and consideration of the intent behind the said press statement which has been in circulation on various media platforms, particularly social media, it was gratifying to us that the People’s Democratic Party had finally vindicated the governor, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Uzodimma, in his avowed position that the current insecurity in the state is politically motivated.
According to the Chairman of Imo APC, the party, has always stood and will continue to stand by the governor, who by his privileged position as the Chief Security Officer of the state, with unhindered access to sensitive security details, came to the conclusion that the escalating cases of insecurity in the state hitherto peaceful state is politically sponsored.
“What we do not know before the PDP’s press conference was the identity of those behind the sponsorship of these reckless killings of innocent citizens, security personnel and wanton destruction of public assets. We strongly hold now, that the mask has been unveiled” He said.
He further noted that, the call for the Governor’s resignation by PDP is not only childish, frivolous, laughable and delusional but a further demonstration of acute desperation to sneak back to Douglas House through the backdoor, even at the detriment of lives and properties of ndi Imo. One had expected the PDP as the main opposition party in the state to come up with possible alternative solution to the situation, but that will be seeking for a virgin in a brothel.
The chairman further described the APC party as responsible political party, that will continue to call on peace loving Imolites to continue to join hands with Government and all relevant security agencies in their efforts to restore peace and security in the state, while praying to God to grant the families of the victims of unfortunate security situation, the grace to bear these losses with fortitude.
Finally, they call on all relevant stakeholders in the state, as well as the aggrieved opposition to embrace peace for the collective interest of all Imolites, as they affirmed that, there can only be one Governor at a time and God Almighty has anointed H.E Hope Uzodimma as the Governor of Imo State presently.
