The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP on Wednesday drew the attention of Nigerians to the worsening insecurity in the state, calling
on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in the state if the insecurity persists.
The opposition party said this in a statement signed by the party Chairman, Charles Ugwuh and made available to DAILY POST in Owerri, Imo State capital “Unfortunately, it is in this environment of terror and public anxiety that INEC recently lifted the embargo on electioneering campaigns. Since the flag-off of our campaigns in December 2022 our efforts to reach out to the electorate through open Rallies have suffered severe setbacks on account of the atmosphere of fear and anxiety that has enveloped the entire State.
“This is a consequence of the Governor’s continued worry about why members of the opposition are not being targeted by unknown gunmen. In furtherance of these threats, our campaign Rally in Ahiazu Mbaise on 14th January 2023 was belatedly visited by gunmen, and would have ended in horrific tragedy, but for Providential intervention.
