The Imo House of Assembly candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 election, Engr Onyiriuka Stanley Chike and over 1,000 of his supporters have dumped the party in Ohaji Egbema Local Government Area.

The politician has pitched his tent with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring support for the governorship flagbearer, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, ahead of the November 11 polls.

Onyiriuka, popularly known as “Chyko”, who has a large following among the electorate in his constituency, gave his opponents a hot chase in the March general election.

In a statement on Tuesday, the politician explained that he and his followers left the SDP to join hands with Imo people to rescue the state from “insecurity, bad governance, greed and harsh policies”.

Onyiriuka said what’s needed is the exit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government and the enthronement of people-oriented administration, which he believes Anyanwu would offer.

He enjoined anyone working against the liberation of Imo to have a change of heart, insisting the gubernatorial poll “would serve as a restoration season to stop killing of innocent youths and burning of houses for no reason.”

Onyiriuka, who described the APC administration as “very insensitive”, swore to continue to mobilise well-meaning Nigerians in the three zones against the ruling party.

Who still doesn’t know at this point that, Hope Uzodinma is gunning for another 4 years.

SDP is irrelevant.

If you doubt me, carry out DNA test.

Honestly... Hope Uzodinma (APC) has no serious opposition in that state.

He will win that election landslide by hook or crook.

Just look at the characters involved in Imo gubernatorial elections! For a great state like Imo….with its abundance of intellectually sound and accomplished sons and daughters, this is a travesty and absolutely pathetic! The state is in the clutches of a thug and the genie was let out of the bottle the day the supreme court confirmed him as governor….with the help of Buhari! It’s been downhill for the state ever since!

I see this Anyanwu guy as having been sponsored by Uzodinma to prevent Ihedioha from getting the PDP ticket! All you’re see now is all part of the script and just playing to the gallery!

The LP one too isn’t any better, and there was a report last week or thereabouts hinting that Uzodinma sponsored him as well!

Sam Daddy is very okay to bring peace. He is one of the popular politicians from Owerri zone who has no problem with ordinary people.
