The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Imo state chapter, has berated Governor Hope Uzodimma over his reaction on Monday’s bombing of the Imo headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Owerri.
Uzodimma had during an assessment visit to the Imo state Police command reportedly said that the attack was politically contrived by those who were desperate to win elections.
In a swift response, the state publicity secretary of the party, Collins Opuruzor, said Uzodimma’s statement was irresponsible.
He described the statement as a jaundiced and false excuse which has once again portrayed his abiding failure to keep Imo people safe.
He said: “This governor can no longer defend his inability to deliver on the promising expectation of political governance which is the security of lives and property.
“By the way, what else defines political desperation better than a man who came fourth in an election but usurped the people’s mandate through a judicial heist, and now sees himself as a feudal Lord?
“From the first week of January this year to the second week of December, Senator Uzodimma has continued to tell Imo people that his enemies are behind the carnage and ravages going on in the state. He has failed to name who the enemies are. He has also failed to bring them to book. Instead, he repeats the same thing day after day with the intention of hiding his failures and getting sympathisers.”
