Gov Uzodimma Afraid Of Kanu’s Release – Ihedioha
Immediate past Governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha has alleged that his successor, Senator Hope Uzodimma is afraid of the release of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Ihedioha stated this in a statement he personally signed titled “When Silence is not golden”, while reacting to a purported letter allegedly authored by him asking the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami to keep Kanu in custody despite the ruling of the Court of Appeal that declared him discharged and acquitted.
Ihedioha said “If anyone should be afraid of a free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, it is Hope Uzodimma. The fact that he and fellow characters will concoct such a letter shows the level they are prepared to go in order to hang on to the power they acquired through dubious means. While Nigerians are aware that those who can forge polling results for manufactured votes can forge anything, I have decided not to keep silent again in the face of this criminal defamation of my character because as we inch closer to the 2023 elections, the evil machinations will intensify”.
He charged security to unravel those behind the purported letter and bring them to justice “I therefore urge the security agencies to investigate those behind this blatant forgery and bring them to justice.
According to him, after his ouster from office, the perpetrators have realised that the bigger issue was his supposed acceptance by the people, saying they were working hard to mar it.
Ihedioha stated “I understand their dilemma. Having succeeded in their evil plot of removing me from office, they realized that the bigger battle was winning the hearts and minds of the people. And that is proving difficult. That they have failed to endear themselves to the good people of Imo State in the last 34 months is why they are now desperate. And also becoming dangerous. So dangerous that they are now working with political renegades across party lines.
