PDP Vows to Thwart Imo Governorship Election Rigging Attempts

• The PDP firmly opposes any attempts to manipulate the upcoming Imo State governorship election and is confident in its electoral prospects
• The party believes Governor Hope Uzodimma and the APC will not gain significant support in the election, citing his detachment from the people

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has declared its firm stance against any potential efforts by political parties to manipulate the upcoming Imo State governorship election scheduled for November 11.

The PDP revealed that all electoral indicators point to a victory in the election and the state’s displacement of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, asserted that Governor Hope Uzodimma and the APC would not garner the support of the state’s citizens.

The PDP emphasized, “The APC is aware it lacks the people’s mandate. Governor Uzodimma lacks a visible, organic support base in any part of Imo State. He has never won any election due to his detachment from the people, even in his home region, Orlu zone.”

“The indicators are crystal clear, and the November 11, 2023 election will be no different. Governor Uzodimma will not secure victory in any polling unit during a free, fair, and transparent election because the people of Imo have found a credible, sincere, compassionate, and approachable leader in Senator Anyanwu,” the PDP concluded.

Nov 11: PDP Tells INEC To Remove Sylvia Agu As Imo REC

Before the upcoming elections on November 11, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has requested that Prof. Sylvia Agu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in charge of Imo, be removed from her position.

The PDP demanded Agu’s immediate dismissal during a press conference held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja due to allegations of election fraud.

The party claimed that if she were to remain, it would be a test of the public’s will, given that other political parties have expressed outrage and requested that the INEC remove her.

At the briefing, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, said the PDP and other political parties had written several letters to INEC calling for the removal of the REC, noting that INEC should do the needful now to prevent a repeat of Adamawa election fiasco.
