Ihedioha Calls Off Imo Visit Alleges Plot To Spark Violence

The immediate past governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha has called off his proposed visit to the state today following what he alleged as a plot by the incumbent administration in the state to infiltrate the visit and spark a riot.

Ihedioha who said that he was to visit to partake in the Saturday congresses of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP claimed the visit to Imo was to have been his first time in the state since the Supreme Court upturned his governorship in January.

“I have been informed that the government of Imo State, acting in concert with some rogue elements within the security apparatus, is planning the arrest and detention of many of our supporters and to visit mayhem on the expected large crowd which they anticipate will come out to welcome me back home. By judging me by their own character, their scheme is to stigmatize and garb us in the toga of violence. These are the tendencies of unpopular and illegitimate regimes. 

“It is therefore for the foregoing reasons that I have decided to postpone my trip to Owerrri so as to frustrate their evil plans and machinations. My visit is not worth the life of any Imo citizen.

“However, the massive deployment of security personnel by the government as well as thugs cannot deter us and the majority of our people from pursuing our collective vision for a better Imo State.”
