Again Ihedioha, PDP Plan to Destabilize Imo

 Loading …

The Imo State Government is aware of plot by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to stage protests tomorrow, Thursday during
which they will again pour insults on the Supreme Court Judges for refusing to
reverse their earlier judgment on the Imo governorship case.

The government is fully aware of the plan by the PDP to hide
under the guise of welcoming ousted Governor Emeka Ihedioha back to Imo to
stage the protests. Their plan is to make it look like Imo people trooped out
to welcome him and hide under that cover to display placards condemning the
Supreme Court Justices for refusing to reverse their judgment in favour of
Ihedioha and the PDP .

From the airport they plan to proceed to Owerri, the state
capital to continue with the protests.

Government is also aware that they have imported thugs from
neighboring states for this purpose because the few members left in their ranks
cannot make the impact they crave for.

Government therefore calls on the security agencies to take
note of this devilish plot by Ihedioha and the PDP and take necessary steps to
ensure that there is no breach of peace in the state.

Imo people cherish the peace which the coming of Governor
Hope Uzodimma has brought to them and will not take kindly any act geared towards
truncating it, more so if such acts are deliberate.   

The government notes that it is unfortunate that Ihedioha
and the PDP have refused to accept the final judgment of the Supreme Court as
truly final and have decided to resort once again to sponsored protests ,
perhaps to accomplish their earlier threat that if the Supreme Court failed to
reverse their judgment, they “would make Imo State ungovernable.”

From the statement released by Ihedioha after the refusal of
the Supreme Court to reverse its earlier judgment, where he said that the
Judges of the Apex Court will not go unpunished, it was obvious that he was
still up to some mischief.  This planned
protest is only part of it.

However, the state government wants to make it abundantly
clear that it will no longer tolerate unbridled affront on constituted
authorities in the name of the exercise of freedom of expression

There must be an end to every litigation and that of Imo
governorship tussle which came to an end on 3rd March 2020 cannot be an
exception. Any further attempt by the supposed leaders and their cohorts to
take laws into their hands will be treated for what it is and those involved
will face the full wrath of the law.

Government advises Imolites to be watchful of the enemies of progress and remain peaceful as it will not shy away from its core responsibility of protecting lives and property.
