The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Imo State, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has accused the state governor, Hope Uzodinma, of destroying the state with his “greed” and “desperation”.

He stated this on Saturday at the first session of the 11th Synod of the Diocese of Mbaise at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Owusu Parish, Ezinihitte Mbaise local government area of the state.

According to him, Uzodinma’s level of “greed, wickedness, and desperation” to retain power at all costs has created an unsecured society leading to unwarranted killings of Imo youths, appealing to the clergy to caution those behind the dastardly act.

He lamented that members of Uzodinma’s administration were busy accumulating wealth and recruiting thugs ahead of November Governorship polls.

The PDP Governorship standard bearer further charged all religious leaders to rise up against thuggery, violence and election malpractices in the state, pointing out that in the cause of subverting and scuttling people’s mandates, Imo people became vulnerable to insecurity.

He said; “No viable leader or administration can ever achieve its policies if such government does not anchor its vision on morality”.

Anyanwu added that if present-day politicians could remember that genuine power only comes from God, the desperation to foist themselves on the masses would reduce to its barest minimum.

Also in attendance at the event were the Deputy Governorship Candidate, Rt Hon Dr Jones Onyereri, Evang Myke Ikoku, Hon Ngozi Ogbu, Hon Mike Ahumibe (PDP Organizing Secretary, South East), Chief Law Biaduo (PDP Organizing Secretary, Imo State), and Hon Collins Opurozor (PDP Publicity Secretary, Imo State.
