The Peoples Democratic Party in Imo state, PDP has described Uzodinma’s latest move to conduct Local Governments election as another dubious means to extort and render Imo people insolvent, adding that he lacks the capacity to carry out the exercise.
Speaking, Acting Chairman of PDP in the state, Engr Chidi Dike said that the current development showed that Uzodinma lacks the zeal to conduct free and fair elections after dragging Imo people to untold and unbearable hardship.
“It is an insult for Uzodinma, after the Interim Management Committee he appointed across the 27 LGAs in the state stayed beyond the constitutionally provided period in office, came up again with a fresh appointment of Sole Administrators to take charge of the Local Government Area councils.
“Uzodinma lacks the capacity, the political will and the conscience to conduct any credible election in the state, since his mandate is not legitimate, a person of his nature does not have both the legal backing and what it takes to carry out such exercise”
The PDP further warns Uzodinma to desist from playing to the gallery by deliberately working against the lives and properties of Imo people. He should immediately come out clear and inform Imo people how he managed LG allocations that accrued to the state since his assumption of office as Governor of the state”
The party therefore recalls how Uzodinma had promised severally to conduct LG election, regretting that after extorting Imo peoples’ hard earned money through the purchase of nomination forms, only for Uzodinma and his accomplices to turn back against them without refunding their money.
“This is another fraudulent means of duping gullible and desperate Imo people. From all indications, Uzodinma does not have the interest of the state at heart, his only interest is to enrich himself and impoverishe Imo people and make them more miserable, “the party further accused.
