Ahead of the November 11, 2023 Imo State governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has cried out over alleged acts of
This, the party argued is aimed at cowing residents of the state, especially media professionals and the opposition PDP for purely political reasons.
Acting state publicity secretary of the party, Emenike Nmeregini who raised the alarm while addressing newsmen at the party secretary in Owerri insisted that the clampdown was hatched by state security operatives working under the dictates of the ruling APC administration to derail the party’s governorship campaigns of making the state safe again.
The party noted that such action on innocent Imolites is totally a direct assault on our democratic order and demands unconditional release of Chisom Mark and to discontinue further acts of scheduled arrest of PDP members and directors already in Uzodimma’s list. The party resolved that if Chisom Mark’s offence is such that cannot be handled by the police, the matter should be prosecuted in court of law rather than to continue to keep him in the police cell.
The party condemned the resort to the use of state apparatus of power for harassment, intimidation, illegal arrest and detention of innocent citizens and indirect violation of their constitutionally guaranteed rights to personal liberty and freedom of expression.
