The Deputy Governorship Candidate of the SDP in Imo State, Dr. Casmir Ihegworo, has enjoined Imo people to vote massively for the party. He added that Sir Okey Ezeh who is the Governorship Candidate of the party is an exceptional leader with fear of God who will abolish the practice of using the Government House for occultic rituals.
Ihegworo, who also is a renowned cleric, made the appeal while addressing the Okigwe Zonal Town Hall Meeting at Umuenyi, Isiala Mbano, recently.
According to the man of God, “The tears of Imo people have reached Heaven and God has responded by giving us Okey Ezeh. For the first time Imo people are getting an exceptional leader with the fear of God. He is a man who has come to give to the people, to break the shackles of poverty in the land and to heal every broken heart. The other candidates in the other parties have nothing to offer, and for them government is their only industry, their only source of livelihood.
“Over and above anything else I do, my first duty on earth as a pastor is to preach the Word of God. And before I accepted to be the running mate of Okey Ezeh, I sought the face of God. For Okey Ezeh, there will be no discrimination in Imo State. We all shall be members of a single zone – the Imo zone. Our Government House shall no longer be used as a shrine,” he assured.
The high point of the event was the defection of the Okigwe Zonal Apex Leader of APGA, High Chief Dr. Innocent Ekeiwu, to SDP with no fewer than five thousand of his supporters.
Ekeiwu, in his brief remarks, said APGA has died without any hope of resurrection. He further described the party as a den of robbers with no human face. He decried the level of exploitation meted out to Imo aspirants by the APGA leadership and warned Imo people to beware of APGA candidates, who he alleged are currently gunning for various offices in Imo State to loot public treasury in order to recover what their Anambra overlords have stolen from them.
