The Director of New Media of the Imo State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Collins Opuruzor, has mocked Governor Hope
Uzodinma over the frequent visits to President Muhammadu Buhari without
positive outcomes to halt myriads of challenges bedeviling the state.
The PDP spokesman also recorded that the Imo governor had
embarked on several visits to Buhari in less than three years, and claimed that
Uzodinma only benefits in Aso rock to pose for photographs with the Nigerian
leader.
Mr Opuruzor, who spoke through a statement forwarded on Thursday, also estimated that the time Uzodinma was brought to
Imo state on January 15 2020 and now, the Imo helmsman has left the state 116
times, and returned 116 times, squandering 8.3 million from public treasury to
hire a private jet for a single trip.
He also alleged that for the 232 times Governor Uzodinma had
flown private jets to Abuja, Imo state has possibly lost almost N2 billion,
stressing that if such gargantuan sum could be expensed on flying, the entire
cost of the leisurely activities and pleasures of the flesh which the
accidental ruler chases after in Abuja is better imagined.
According to the party chieftain, “for an entity like Imo
where salaries and pensions have remained unpaid, and where Infrastructural
decay has become a source of immense sorrow, this penchant for luxury and
unguarded lust for good life in far away Abuja by Uzodinma can never be
rationalized.
“What baffles many is that since Uzodinma began his shameless
photographic sessions in Aso Rock, there is no single project in Imo which he
can claim to have attracted from such vainglorious displays. He skirts around
President Buhari possibly for the fun of it and possibly also, to rob it on the
faces of his perceived foes that he can have photoshoots with the President
whenever he wants.”
Continuing, Opuruzor further regretted, “the pain, however,
is that while Uzodinma is lazying around in Abuja, Imo state is burning down to
ashes. Just like Emperor Nero who fiddled while Rome burnt, history will record
Uzodinma’s fun seeking indulgences in Abuja even when Imo people live in the
throes of siege and mass murderers. Today, terrorists, bandits and
fundamentalists are expanding their territory in Imo, slaughtering countless
innocent citizens, abducting many more, subjecting their captives, including
women and children to torture, rape and the most gruesome forms violence and
death.
“Since the killings in Imo started, Uzodinma has neither
proffered any solution to the ugly situation nor even offered any satisfactory
explanation about the causes. He has instead blamed everyone else and
everything else for it but himself. If he was duly elected, he would have known
that the security of lives and property should be his first-line obligation.
But, unfortunately, he wasn’t.
“It is time for President Buhari and his handlers in Aso
Rock tell Uzodinma the bitter truth. “Go and solve the problems in your state.
Aso Rock is not a photo studio, “the Imo spokesman submitted.
