PDP slams Governor Uzodimma over attack on CUPP Spokesperson, Ikenga Ugochinyere
Imo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked the governor of the state, Hope Uzodimma, to give account of the rumored role of his administration in gunmen’s attack on the home of the spokesperson for the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Ikenga Ugochinyere, in Akokwa, Ideato Council of the state.
The party insisted that the governor’s speech on the matter has not just betrayed his sympathy for the assassin’s, but has also exposed his knowledge of the attack before its execution.
Gunmen , on Saturday, invaded the home of Ugochinyere, who is the PDP candidate for Ideato Federal Constituency.
Reacting to the incident, Uzodimma alleged that Ugochinyere violated an agreement, which he supposedly reached with the unknown gunmen and also claimed to be aware of meetings between Ikenga and the gunmen.
He claimed that the agreement was to make sure that elections would not take place in the South East stressing that Ikenga’s breach of the agreement led to the attack.
Speaking on the matter, party’s state Publicity Secretary, Collins Opurozor, analyzed Uzodimma’s statement as lies and deceptive.
The party said: “What this self-confession has established is that Uzodimma was aware of the attack even before it was carried out. He knew how it was conceived, planned and executed. By his admission, Uzodimma knows who the so-called unknown gunmen are. He knows where and how they met. He is privy to their agreements, documents and action plan. So, what is unknown about the gunmen if the governor could boast of knowing everything about them, including their meetings and agreements.
It must be stated that Uzodimma’s failed attempt to link Ugochinyere with whatever group that doesn’t want elections to hold in the South East is a new dimension to his unending war against our candidate
It should be noted that Uzodimma’s failed plan to link Ugochinyere with any group that doesn’t want elections to take place in the South East is a new tactics to his never ending war against their candidate.
