Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu aka Samdaddy, has disclosed that he is contesting the Imo governorship election on November 11, 2023 to guarantee the safety of the clergy, the entire Imo people and to end insecurity.
He gave his assurance weekend, while addressing the clergy and members of the Royal Christian Pentecostal Church Umukehi, Orji in Owerri North local government area of the state, during their 2023 synod/anniversary celebrations as a special guest.
He claimed that in the last three years, security of the clergy and Imo people had been badly neglected, leading to the proliferation of kidnapping, armed robbery and killings in the state.
According to him, “it appears that all the crimes in the state are targeted at the clergy who are innocent of any social injustice. What I promise Imo people is that, our government will nip this ugly trend in the bud if elected governor of the state in the November election.
“Tarry a while and cry no more, you must be part of the victory party and play prominent role in our government. Imo people will be happy again when hunger, sorrow, non payment of salaries, pensions, and killings would stop.”
Continuing, the PDP candidate said, “My covenant with Imo people is to bring peace and ensure that those who abandoned their homes to save their lives due to insecurity are persuaded to return back. Let me assure you that my interest to govern Imo is not to enrich myself and relatives; if I have desire against Ndi-Imo, may the prayers of Imo people concerning this project never work for us; but if my desire is to secure the state from the grip of insecurity and bad governance, we shall win this Governorship election.”
Speaking on behalf of the Diocese, His Lordship, Rt Revd F.O Nwaodu, expressed confidence that with the level of hunger and discomfort in the state, Imo people would make the best choice in the November 11 governorship election.
He urged the people to remain focused and undeterred in their bid to enthrone good governance in the state, assuring that God has revealed his consent to make Imo state safe by returning peace, unity and love back.
