The governing All Progressives Congress, APC in Imo State, has said the leadership of the PDP in the state “should hold themselves individually and collectively, responsible for the unwarranted killings of innocent citizens and destruction of public and private properties in the state”
In a statement signed by the party’s spokesman, Cajethan Duke, the APC said “It is dishonest, wicked and utterly mischievous for the PDP to attribute the renewed gruesome attacks on notable leaders of All Progressives Congress and destruction of critical public infrastructure in the state to lack of leadership capacity on the part of the governor.
The PDP had recently accused Governor Hope Uzodimma, for incidents of insecurity in Orlu senatorial zone.
The APC said “it consider the latest effort of the opposition PDP to blame the APC- led government of His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma for the incidents of insecurity in parts of Orlu senatorial zone of the state as a deliberate attempt to mislead the people, malign the person of the governor and undermine the credibility of his administration”
The APC said the PDP ought to tender an unreserved apology from the opposition party.
“It is dishonest, wicked and utterly mischievous for the PDP to attribute the renewed gruesome attacks on notable leaders of All Progressives Congress and destruction of critical public infrastructure in the state to lack of leadership capacity on the part of the governor.
“A party that for two years has sustained a deliberate campaign of calumny, incitement and destructive opposition against the government of the day, should not look for whom to blame when the result comes. Indeed, it is no longer news that what is happening in Imo today, has the tacit endorsement and signature of the opposition element in the state.
“Instead of looking for whom to blame, Imolites and all men of goodwill deserve an unreserved apology from PDP, and not its provocative, hypocritical grandstanding” the statement stated.
