The PDP candidate for Imo East Senatorial District, Uche
Onyeagucha on Tuesday condemned in clear terms the recent gruesome extra-murder
of innocent Imo youths in Otulu, Oru West LGA, describing such incident as
horrific and barbaric.
Onyeagucha who was the secretary to the Imo State Government
under the sacked administration of Emeka Ihedioha said it was disheartening and
provocative, the cold-blooded slaughtering on daily basis by Hope Uzodimma’s
Ebubeagu killer squad of innocent Imo youths.
Onyeagucha stated this in a release signed by Prince
MacDonald Enwere, his Special Assistant on Media to newsmen in Owerri, Imo State
capital.
The release reads, “The blood of Innocent Imo Youths killed
is on your head. This mindless killing spree has continued unremittingly. It is
heartbreaking to note that since the unfortunate imposition of Hope Uzodimma by
Justice Tanko’s Supreme Court in January 2020, more than three thousand
innocent Imolites have been butchered by government-sponsored gunmen.
“Governor Uzodinma has never shown any modicum of concern
but instead has remained nonchalant and arrogant in the face of deafening public
outcry.
“This indifference is an assault on the collective
insensibility of Imo people and a height of wickedness and heartlessness.
“Government has as its primary responsibility, the
protection of lives and property of its citizens. Obviously, this duty is lost
on Gov. Uzodimma who has remained obstinate in his resolve to wipe out Imo
youths.
“Today, Imo State under the watch of Governor Hope Uzodimma
is bleeding and on the brink of an avoidable conflict.
” Enough blood has been shed in the state, and NdiImo cannot
continue to mourn anymore. ”
He commiserated with the families of the victims of the
gruesome murder and prayed God to give them the fortitude to bear their losses.
