The attention of the All Progressives Congress APC Imo State chapter, under the able leadership of Hon. Sir Macdonald Kelechi Ebere, Ph.D, has been drawn to another reckless and obviously hypocritical statement credited to former senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu (Samdaddy). We noticed that he has assumed lately the unofficial spokesman of the extinction bound PDP. He has few days ago remarked that "Imo people elected PDP in 2019 while supreme Court elected APC".
Anyanwu who made this pedestrian statement at a dinner party organized for Imo PDP delegates on the eve of their National Convention at the Abuja residence of former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha. Ordinarily, we would have ignored this comment as it is in it's entirety laughable and ridiculous.
However, we consider it expedient and appropriate to remind our brother, who has become loquacious and flippant that few months ago, he had approached even the same Supreme Court challenging the emergence of Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha as PDP candidate in the 2019 Imo governorship election.
Our party is of the strong opinion that a man of Senator Anyanwu political standing, who told everyone who cared to listen that his mandate was stolen at the 2018 PDP governorship primaries through a fraudulent process by Rt. Hon. Ihedioha, is the most unlikely person to justify the electoral malfeasance committed by PDP and Ihedioha in 2019 general election against nde Imo. This was however, restored through the instrumentality of the law.
We ask again, if the Supreme Court had granted Samdaddy's request and declared him the authentic PDP candidate for that governorship election, would he have seen himself as a Supreme Court candidate? Would his supporters and party have addressed him as Supreme Court candidate or governor? Obviously not.
It is unfortunate that the PDP in Imo, since the emergence of Governor Hope Uzodinma as governor, has erroneously maintained they had won the 2019 election and were robbed by the Supreme Court. This is fallacy! We wish to categorically state for the umpteenth time, that PDP never won any election in Imo in 2019.
Only last Thursday, the Appeal Court dismissed the suit of former PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus, against their Saturday convention in Abuja, where Senator Anyanwu emerged the national secretary on consensus, should we then tag the conventions as "Appeal Court convention, even as Secondus has approach the supreme court against the Appeal court verdict?" No! Leaders need to be wise and not mislead their followers! APC victory in Imo was well deserved and the party has repositioned the State into the mainstream national politics.
While we congratulate Anyanwu on his new political position as the leader of the opposition PDP in Imo State, we advise SAMDADDY to always remember that in this business of politics, our past will always confront our present, and at such critical moment, only men of character, honor and integrity will stand the test of time.
APC! ... Everywhere you go!!!
