PDP wants Imo State leader Hope Uzodimma to step down after he spent N2.1 billion on Muslim travel plans. The money paid for 315 people to make the Hajj trip during a time when many locals face danger at home. Armed groups recently killed 20 people near the Okigwe area. They also burned 22 cars there. The state party spoke through Lancelot Obiaku about these worries.
The governor threw a large party for these travelers instead of helping with safety issues. About 26 people were taken against their will in the Ngor Okpala area before this event happened. One person died during that attack. Most people in Imo State practice the Christian faith rather than Islam. The money could have fixed roads or paid retired workers what they earned.
The PDP claims Uzodimma acts like he comes from somewhere else because he seems not to care about local problems. Bad men have taken over parts of Okigwe, Orsu, Njaba, and Onuimo areas. People there live in fear every day. The party asks all Imo people to hold the leader responsible for what happens. Reporters tried to ask APC leader Dr Macdonald Ebere about this, but his phone was turned off.
