Demise Of Two Njaba Monarchs: Anyanwu Of PDP Wants APC To Cover Shameful Faces

Dan Opara

One of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, a stalwart in Imo State, Sen. Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu (SamDaddy) has challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to tell the people of how unknown gunmen hijacked a meeting organized by its leader and Interim Management Committee Chairman (IMC) of Njaba LGA, where two traditional rulers were killed and many injured instead of being economical with the bitter truth.

 

It can be recalled that a statement by APC Publicity Secretary in Imo State, Comr. Cajetan Duke described Senator Anyanwu’s comment that PDP will tackle insecurity in Nigeria when it takes over power, as not only insensitive but a campaign strategy for 2023 elections.

 

The South East consensus candidate for the position of National Secretary, therefore, maintains that for APC to have made such callous statement shows how shameless and unserious they are, adding that their reply to his harmless advice is evidence that it is only interested in gambling with people’s lives and wellbeing.

 

The erstwhile Senate Committee Chairman on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions further challenged the party to explain to Imo people and Nigerians how gunmen took over a stakeholders meeting organized by its leader and Chief Security Officer of Njaba LGA killing only traditional rulers without a scratch on any of her members who were in the same meeting.

 

Anyanwu maintains that where APC fails to tell Imo people what actually transpired that led to the gruesome murder of innocent Traditional Rulers, the party should forever cover her face in shame.

 

He said that such avoidable killing inside a supposed council headquarters is an indication that APC government has no solution to insecurity in the state and Nigeria at large, and suggested the need for Nigerians to reject the party’s gimmicks to return back to power in 2023.

 

“For reacting to my harmless advice, APC should apologize to the deceased families, communities, and Imo state in general for allowing their Ezes to die carelessly due to their negligence.”

 

Anyanwu, therefore, calls on the party to stop diverting people’s attention from the crux of the matter and advised its leaders to rather step up to quail the ravaging security threats before it goes off-board.

 

The statement for the press was made available to the public by Comr.Ikenna Onuoha, the Special Adviser on Media to Sen. SamDaddy, on Thursday, October 29th, 2021.
