The Peoples Democratic Party has condemned what it termed the unwarranted attack assaulted on the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Emeka Ihedioha on Security, Hon Jasper Ndubuaku.
The party described the alleged attack as premeditated and ruthless assault by thugs said to have been sponsored by a former governor of the state, Senator Rochas Okorocha.
According to a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Damian Oparah, the party said the alleged attack is the greatest affront to the entire people of Imo state.
The party claimed it is an attempt to frighten the new government under the watch of Governor Emeka Ihedioha from working hard to recover the looted funds and property of the state.
The statement reads in part, “It is evidently clear that Okorocha, who ran Imo state aground while he was governor, is bent on disrupting the relative peace which engulfed the state since the conduct of the 2019 general elections when the people stopped his demonic plans to install his son in-law and acolyte as his successor and instead, voted in a PDP government, led by Emeka Ihedioha.
“However, we want to state without equivocation that we are not cowed by Okorocha’s bold faced antics as it will only lead him to an inevitable destruction, as no man is superior to Imo as a state.
“As a party, we support every step already taken and those that will be taken by the state government to bring Okorocha to book after eight years of mindless plundering of the state’s commonwealth.”
