Samuel Anyanwu, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming Imo gubernatorial poll, says Hope Uzodinma, governor of the state, should be seeking the forgiveness of the people instead of a second term bid. 

In a statement from his campaign team on Wednesday, Anyawu said Imo state under the Uzodinma administration is “one of the most dreaded places in the country because of the heightened insecurity.”

He added that the residents of the state have seen the “light” and would be voting PDP in the governorship election.

“We are not in the business of joining words with the APC or its governorship candidate, Hope Uzodinma. It is in the nature of losers to be jittery because the people of Imo have seen the light,” Anyanwu said.

“The government has decided to impoverish the people and put them in perpetual poverty. Our young people, who are talented and educated, have no job. Imo state, today, is one of the most dreaded places in the country because of the heightened insecurity.

“It is shameful that the same government, which is supposed to be seeking forgiveness from the people, wants to be re-elected. Affliction shall never rise again.”

On April 12, Anyanwu became the PDP’s candidate for the Imo governorship election after contesting the primary unopposed.

He would be slugging it out with Uzodinma on the election day billed for November 11.
