. Asks For Disbandment of Ebubeagu Vigilante Group<\/b><\/p>\n
. Demands For\u00a0\u00a0Security For Its Candidates, Party Members<\/b><\/p>\n
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Imo State chapter has appealed to the President and Commander In- Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari to declare a State of Emergency in Imo State, if the insecurity ravaging the State continues.<\/p>\n
The Party made the declaration in its State Head Office, Owerri, Imo State yesterday during a World Press Conference it held to address the Media on the vicious attack carried out on its candidate for Ideato Federal Constituency in the February 25, 2023 election, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere.<\/p>\n
In a Press Release signed by the State Chairman, Engr Charles Ugwuh, but read out by the State Secretary, Hon Nze Ray Emeana, the Party called for the immediate disbandment of Ebubeagu Vigilante Outfit, which the PDP lamented has been turned to a private Hit Squad.<\/p>\n
The Party also accused some Security Agencies of having compromised their duties by turning themselves to private Army, rather than securing the larger society, for which they are paid with tax payers money.<\/p>\n
Imo PDP regretted that since three years the present Government in Imo State led by Senator Hope Uzodinma assumed office, insecurity has escalated in the State, and continued to rise than be controlled.<\/p>\n
On Ebubeagu,\u00a0\u00a0Imo PDP said \u201cIt is worrisome that Ebubeagu which appears currently positioned as a hit squad, represents a worse nightmare\u00a0\u00a0of Imo State, than the organized net work of Bandits and Kidnappers it was established to confront\u201d.<\/p>\n
PDP cried out\u00a0\u00a0that Imo has been transformed into a \u201ctheatre of war,\u00a0\u00a0butchery, where daily extra-judicial murders have become so common that the incidents no longer merit headline attention\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Party said that \u201cThe tragic Irony in all of this is that the State Government under Senator Hope Uzodinma, which has the primary responsibility to protect lives and property is not only incapable of securing the State, but appears complicit in the escalation of Insecurity\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Party therefore appealed to President Mohammadu Buhari to declare a State of Emergency in the State if the situation persist,\u00a0\u00a0to save the citizens, since the State\u2019s Chief Security Officer, Governor Hope Uzodinma\u00a0\u00a0has failed to secure the State and her citizens.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the Insecurity in the State persists, the President and Commander In Chief, Mohammadu Buhari should declare a State of Emergency in Imo\u201d PDP said.<\/p>\n
The Party asked for security for all its candidates, as the environment is no more safe, even for the party to campaign again for the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n
\u201c Our deep concern therefore, is that under the current State of terror and public anxiety for Personal Safety, it will be foolhardy to further undertake any form of voter mobilization and vote canvassing in Imo State\u201d Imo PDP hinted.<\/p>\n
