STOP THE SPONSORED KILLINGS, GROUP WARN IMO PDP

- Accuses The Party For Sponsoring Insecurity


Democracy Advocacy Forum(DAF) has joined the call to sue for peace in Imo State as well as warn the Imo PDP to steer clear of making unguarded utterances that the jeopardized the peace of the state and over heat the polity ahead of 2024 gubernatorial election in the state.

It has become clear to us that the Imo PDP and its desperate politician have started making moves to push their inordinate story alleging that Imo State controlled vigilante group was behind the killing of 3 family members in Okporo Orlu in the state.

We have noticed that since the landmark judgement that dislodged the Imo PDP from the seat of power, they have continued to exhibit traits of bitterness through name calling, propaganda, campaigns of calumny, etc. They have gone as far as supporting and inciting violence in different areas of the state through the unknown gunmen and these they have been doing through the collaborative efforts of some displaced politicians in the state for their selfish interest.

The previous Egbu declaration is another obvious desperate move to get to power by the PDP even when the electoral umpire is yet to lift ban on political activities for 2024. Hiding under the guise of calling for equity, Imo PDP is already preparing grounds to arm to the teeth several groups and individuals to wreck havoc in all the zones of the state in a make-believe move for the agitation of equity in the state.

"In his statement signed by the leader of the group, Hon. Ikonne Maxwell, stated that "late last year, we raised alarm about the level of killing going on in Imo state, we wrote to the government to take action and we were happy with the proactive measure taken to protect lives and properties. The allegation of Imo controlled vigilante group been responsible for the killing of family members in Okporo Orlu is totally targeted at the state government.

Imo PDP and other opposition parties in Imo state should as a mater of urgent, withdraw their arsenal from killing Imolites"

They went further to encourage the state government and charge them to protect the state at all cost.

Democracy Advocacy Forum(DAF) therefore call on Imolites to be on the know of the plans of Imo PDP to unleash terror in the state and appeal to the state government to beef up security in all the parts of the state as well as ensure that politicians found encouraging or sponsoring any act of terrorism in the state are dealt with in accordance with the law.

They also drew the attention of the government to the fact that Imo PDP are doing so just to distabilize and hamper on the massive infrastructural and developmental progress of Orlu zone courtesy of the present Government.
