Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Sen Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has said that Sen. Hope Uzodimma led government in the state has remained unpopular even after almost four years in office.
He alleged that, in attempt to gain acceptance from the Imo people, Uzodimma is wooing faceless groups for endorsements, describing it as mere drama and damage control mechanism.
Anyanwu who disclosed this while addressing 2019 Interim Management Committee (IMC) members at the campaign office in Owerri, on Friday, said, "no popular government beg for endorsement."

He stated that, "while the APC government in the state is struggling and desperately working to secure frivolous endorsements from groups unknown to Imo people, other state Governors are busy working for the development of their states."
According to him, "why the Uzodinma led APC administration is finding it difficult to secure the consent and acceptance of Imo masses is because his government is so unpopular and unacceptable to the entire citizens of the state."
"One therefore wondered how a government Uzodinma got through a "Ben Johnson" way could receive support or expect applause from Imo people, when it has blatantly failed to restore peace, security and good governance." Anyanwu popularly known as Samdaddy said.
Speaking on behalf of his members, State Coordinator of the 2019 IMC members, Hon Bolton Igboanugo (Owerri Municipal) said that they came to interface with the party's Governorship candidate as part of efforts to secure the state from the stranglehold of insecurity and bad leadership.
Hon Igboanugo regretted that a government of PDP that would have changed the entire shape of the state for good was truncated through a widely condemned court judgement, expressing optimism that the PDP stolen mandate would be recovered in the November 11 election.
He therefore called on his members and Imo people at large to join hand with the party and its candidates, Senator Anyanwu and Rt Hon Onyereri to make Imo Safe Again, adding that once that was done, the lost glory of the state would be revived and be strengthened.
