The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has condemned the confiscation of the campaign vehicles belonging to its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, by agents of the Imo State Government
The party described the confiscation of vehicles as deeply provocative, intolerable, and a clear invitation to anarchy.
In a statement issued by its state Publicity Secretary, Collins Opurozor, the party demanded that the campaign vehicles of its presidential candidate, impounded by the Imo State Signage and Advertising Agency, IMSAA, be released without any further delay.
The party urged Governor Hope Uzodimma to stop beating the drums of war.
It accused the governor of deploying state resources and agents to intimidate, hound and attack opposition figures in the state.
It said; “For five consecutive months, Senator Uzodimma and his henchmen have jettisoned all pretenses to governance. They have instead openly deployed state resources and all the instruments of state power to intimidate, hound and attack prominent opposition leaders in the state.”
The party cited the sealing of the campaign office of its Imo East Senatorial District candidate, Uche Onyeagucha and destruction of campaign billboards of its Ideato Federal Constituency candidate, Ilenga Ugochinyere Imo to buttress its point.
The statement reads in part; “The campaign office of our senatorial candidate in Owerri Zone, Hon. Uche Onyeagucha, was attacked in broad daylight and sealed up in a gestapo operation directly commanded by known appointees of the the government.
“Ideato Federal Constituency was invaded in a warlike manner, and all the campaign billboards erected by our candidate, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, vandalized by agents of this war-mongering government.
“Our party notes that while all sectors of Imo State are now in tatters, the rudderless administration of Senator Uzodinma keeps wandering afar off on the path of self-destruction and political vendetta.
“It is heartbreaking that Local Government workers in Imo are now in the throes of death.
“They recently wept to the high heavens, that for over thirty months, the administration of Senator Uzodimma has left them without salaries.
“This is the height of cruelty, considering that Senator Uzodimma has refused to tell anyone the whereabouts of the N127 billion which has come to the Imo State Local Governments from the Federation Account under his watch”.
