Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has been called upon to join the 2023 Imo Governorship election to save the state from backwardness, adding that all information gathered revealed that he remains the only option for the state.
Addressing newsmen after meeting with the Director General of Divine Mandadte Movement (DMM) at its state Headquarters in Owerrri weekend, the group, Samdaddy Imo Mass Movement (SIMM) said that the ongoing insecurity and economic crisis including leadership imbalance in the state were factors that triggered their curiosity to look for one with the needed capacity to bring them out of the mess.
Coordinator of the group, Chief Francis Ibeh, maintained that should Senator Anyanwu refuses to accept the appeal to contest, they would mobilize over 1 million Imo citizens across the state to compel him to throw in the towel.
Chief Ibeh noted that his group would immediately embark on grass roots sensitization tour to woo everyone into the project, pointing out that the campaign will be carried out once Senator Anyanwu assures them of his readiness to accept their plea to join in the race.
According to Chief Ibeh, the call became necessary after their research to find out who is more acceptable across the three zones of the state, adding that responses gathered showed that Senator Anyanwu remains the only sure bet for the state.
He said that some people who left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to the way they were treated are ready to come back to rejoin the party on one condition that Senator Anyanwu must contest the 2023 Imo Guber poll.
Chief Ibe said, “what Imo state needs now is a man with an open heart, charismatic and runs inclusive administration. One that can be acceptable across the state, who is willing and capable of uniting our state after it was ravaged by insecurity and economic disaster. Such man, we have found in Senator Samuel Anyanwu. We are calling on him to join the 2023 Imo Governorship race.”
Responding, Director General of Divine Movement (DMM), Hon Ngozi Ogbu commended them for taken the bold step, and promised to relate back to Senator Anyanwu.
He maintained that if the caliber of personalities in their team could boldly call on Senator Anyanwu to rescue the state from administrative servitude, he wondered why the PDP National Secretary would not accept their plea.
Hon Ogbu further charged them to continue to remain patience in their quest for good governance, pointing out that what PDP and the state need now is a credible person like Senator Anyanwu to heave a sigh of relief.
“PDP in the state has to be open for every interested aspirants to guarantee equity, justice and fairness. We should know that PDP is a public property where everyone belongs. Therefore, anyone claiming its ownership is not only playing with fire, but making a serious mistake of his life.”
Hon Ogbu, a former House of Assembly Member therefore admonished them to join the campaign against PDP dominance in the state, adding that if the party has more than five Governorship aspirants, some of its challenges will be easily solved.
