Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Imo State, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu has vowed to defeat the incumbent governor, Hope Uzodinma in the forthcoming November 11th guber election in the state.
Anyanwu popularly known as Samdaddy stated this in a release signed by his spokesman, Ikenna Onuoha while reacting to report which accused of secretly negotiating with Uzodimma over the coming poll.
He described the report as, "false, baseless and misleading without any iota of truth, but aimed at deceiving the public and diverting attention from the current realities in the state."
Anyanwu also reiterated his commitment to, "make Imo safe again by ending killings, kidnappings and thuggery in the state," if elected.
The release partly reads, "the attention of the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has been drawn to a misleading allegation purport to have accused him of secretly negotiating with Hope Uzodinma over the November 11 Governorship election.
"The truth of the matter is that even in dream, darkness and light will never come together to agree in anything.
"It is on the record that the current realities on ground in the state is the massive adoption and endorsement of Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu as a consensus Governorship candidate in the November 11 election by market women, youth groups, motorcycle, Keke/taxi operators, socio-political groups, Christian Organizations and Traditional institutions.
"Not comfortable with the wide acceptance of the PDP Candidate, Hope Uzodinma, his team and the escaped former PDP officials are doing everything possible not minding its legal implications to wittle down the popularity of Senator Anyanwu in the state."
"Our assurance to Imo people is that, the PDP Governorship Candidate will secure the state from the stranglehold of APC misrule, intimidation, harassment and illegal arrests which has gradually destroyed the state and turned it to a battle ground for non state actors.
"Our stand is that despite all the misleading falsehoods now and in the future against the PDP Candidate, what cannot be denied is that Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Rt Hon Jones Onyereri are out to make Imo safe again by ending killings, kidnappings and thuggery in the state." it added.
