Imo PDP Condemns Assault On Cleric

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed displeasure over the recent assault allegedly meted on the Archbishop of Owerri Catholic Diocese, Most Rev Anthony Obinna by members of All Progressives Congress (APC) and loyalists of Owelle Rochas Okorocha.
The attack occurred at a burial ceremony of mother of one of the APC’s leaders in Owerri North Local Government Area of the state.
This condemnation was made by the Chairman of the party in the state, Barrister Charles Ezekwem, at a press briefing at the PDP secretariat in Owerri.
The chairman, who not only condemned the action of the governor’s loyalists on the fateful day in the Temple of God, also described it as an “abomination” that has never been experienced in the history of the state.
Ezekwem urged Imo people to check the corrupt practices of the governor and the irresponsible behaviour of the government officials and do the needful in 2019 with the power of their Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs).
He maintained that the newly introduced reforms in PDP under the leadership of National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, would ensure the end of impunity and imposition of candidates initially associated with the party, while repositioning PDP to unseat both the President, Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Rochas Okorocha in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
The state party chairman assured that the existing innovations in the PDP would enthrone unity, stability, progress, egalitarianism and non-discrimination among members of the party across the board and ensure victory for PDP in the 2019 political battle.
