Media Executive and sports enthusiast, Sunny Ndukwu has raised an alarm over threat to his life by some person working with the Imo State Government.
Ndukwu, who is the Deputy Director, Media and Publicity of the Imo PDP Governorship Campaign Council made this known on Thursday while briefing newsmen in the state capital, Owerri.
According to him “As a human being, I have concerns for my safety and that of my family.
In a statement he personally signed, Ndukwu described the development as an attempt to anarchy.
“Am constrained to draw the attention of the Department of State Security Services, the Inspector General of Police and other relevant security agencies to the foiled attempt by agents of the opposition political party who are working on directives of the ex-federal lawmaker, who represented Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency, Hon Bede Eke to illegally arrest me.
“I have received several threat calls with strange phone numbers as well as verbal assault advising me to stay clear my LGA, Ngor Okpala for my safety.
Am a legitimate voter who is constitutional bound to exercise my franchise. Bede Eke used to be an ally but as we speak, we don’t belong to the same political party and our political idealogy differs, I urge him to concentrate on how to woo votes for his new boss, and leave me out of his political misfortune. I have no hand in his abysmal failure during the last Aboh Mbaise/ Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency PDP House of Representatives primaries.
“Over the years, it’s on record, I rendered professional services to Bede Eke as I functioned as his media consultant, even though he reneged on all agreement reached in the course of my professional services, but that will be a topic for another day.
“As a Nigerian, am at liberty to indentify with any political party of my choice and currently am a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state and by the grace of God, Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, Imo PDP Governorship Campaign Council. I wish to seize this opportunity to advise Bede Eke to go about his campaigns by convincing the electorates to vote for his party candidate, and discontinue any further attempt to harrass as well as contract some compromised security operatives to illegally arrest me.
I have formally notified relevant agencies of a threat to my life, the youths of my community and Ngor Okpala LGA in general have also been put on notice as well. My family had also incidented a formal complaint as we will resist any attempt to assault or any move to illegally arrest myself or any member of my family.
Imo electorates, particularly, the people of Ngor Okpala LGA have decided to cast their votes for the Governorship candidate of PDP, Sen Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu come Nov 11 Governorship election. Those who have promised the incumbent governor of delivering him in Ngor Okpala will be shocked at the results when declared in favor of PDP.
Finally, I call on our party supporters in Ngor Okpala LGA to remain calm, law abiding, focused and committed as we work towards ensuring victory for our principal, Sen Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu come Saturday, Nov 11.
