African Democratic Congress (ADC), South East Zone, has advised the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to start packing their personal belongings out of the Government House before November 11, 2023.
The national vice chairman, South East, Comrade Chilos Godsent gave this admonition on behalf of the party while briefing newsmen shortly after the ADC South East Expanded Zonal Working Committee (ZWC) meeting held in Owerri, Imo State to review the 2023 general election.
The party said it has set up Contact and Mobilisation Committee (CMC) and Political Action Committee (PAC) to commence intensive mobilisation of Imo State electorate, geared towards the launching of rainbow alliance with other political parties, organisations, and political blocs targeted towards sending Uzodimma and the APC packing from the Imo State Government House.
According to the party, “We are all witnesses to the criminal subversion of the will of the Nigerian people on February 25, 2023 in the name of shameless rigging and desperation to forcefully win the Presidential and National Assembly Elections by the ruling APC Government.
“Nigerians, the international community, and even the blind saw and condemned in its entirety the brazen rigging of the aforementioned elections which was characterized by intimidation.
“Governor Hope Uzodinmma-led government, used every instrumentality and structure of the government within their disposal, both at the state, LGAs, wards, and community levels respectively to mastermind the brazen election violence and intimidation against the electorates of Imo State in a desperate bid to shamefully rig the elections of the Imo State House of Assembly of Saturday, March 18, 2023 in the twenty-seven state constituencies in Imo State.
“Facts available to us showed that in that election, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Imo State won over 10 seats, but what we witnessed that fateful day was the use of local government council sole administrators and security operatives to harass, intimidate and prevent the collation agents of opposition political parties from entering the Local Government Area collation Centres in a bid to pave way for APC agents and election riggers to have the opportunity and free hand to mutilate and rewrite many election results to their favour.
“Thus, we wish to use this medium to announce to Imolites and Nigerians at large that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) South East Zone has issued a quit notice to the Senator Hope Uzodimma-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government in Imo State.”
