- Promises a better, safer Imo
From George Onyejiuwa, Owerri
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for November 11 Imo state gubernatorial poll Senator Samuel Anyanwu has urged Imo Citizens to continue to keep faith with democracy despite prevalent security challenges in the state and promised to ensure a better and safer Imo under the administration of People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Anyanwu stated this in a statement on Monday to commemorate the 2023 Democracy Day.
According to him, he is aware of the challenging situation being faced by citizens of the state occasioned by insecurity and the state’s collapsed economy.
He regretted that Imo State, which used to be the number one in the areas of hospitality and security in the entire South East region, has suddenly turned into a theatre of war for reasons yet unknown.
“I am aware that your businesses have crumbled and collapsed due to the unsecured environment we find ourselves today; your lives are threatened and properties destroyed, but be rest assured that peace will be restored again in Imo when the Righteous takes over”
“Despite the challenges and the losses, I appeal to you in the name of God to remain focused and law-abiding and continue to play your individual role in consolidating our democracy until our state is finally salvaged.
“Once again, let me use this opportunity to salute the good people of Imo State for your unwavering support towards our aspiration to take Imo out of the dungeon and return it back to its pride of place as the Eastern Heartland known for its hospitality and investment-friendly state. I assure you that Imo will be safe again”
While commending the Imo people for upholding the ideals of democracy, further enjoins them to resist every pressure from anyone to compromise the collective zeal of the masses to instil a more conducive and people-oriented government in the state during the November 11 governorship election.
