Lead opposition party in Imo State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said Governor Hope Uzodimma lacks the moral right to seek a second term in office.
He party spokesman said the alleged planned protest in Abuja by PDP and insecurity of the state levelled against them were lies, and enjoined people to ignore them.He alleged Uzodimma has plunged the state into debt claiming that Imo was the most indebted Igbo state.“Imo is presently the most indebted Igbo state, with a debt profile which stands at N240 billion. That means that the regime of Senator Uzodinma has doubled the debt profile in the last three years.
He said “It is worrisome that health prospects in Imo are getting poorer every day in view of the failure of this government to formulate health policy for nearly four years. In 2019, Imo had an unemployment rate of 28%. But today, the State has become the unemployment capital of Nigeria with over 60% unemployment rate. This is disastrous, and it is at the heart of the insecurity in the State, because when people find a pathway out of poverty, they can hardly resort to crime.
