A group, Imo Indigenes in Diaspora, IID, yesterday called on Imo State indigenes and residents across Nigeria and the Diaspora’ eligible to vote, to troop out en mass on Saturday to cast their votes without fear of harassment and intimidation, for any governorship candidate of their choice.
A statement signed by Chief Michael Okoroeze, on behalf of Imo Indigenes in Diaspora, expressed disappointment that seven judges were used to impose power against the will of Imo people, saying that such will never be tolerated in the state and is only history and posterity that will judge the judges involved in that case.
“The government was picked from what was thought to be a fourth position in the polls to the first position into power in Imo State. This can not happen a second time. Imolites must vote for the right candidate this time around. Say ‘No’ to oppression and say ‘No’ to death! “Imolites are you going to vote for someone who will not prosecute rapists or car thieves, are you going to vote for someone who will let the harassment at illegal checkpoints and roadblocks continue. Are you going to vote for someone who will let bribery and corruption in Igbo land continue?
“Do you still remember the killings by bombings in Orlu and surrounding towns and villages? Do you remember the killings in Izombe villages? Do you remember the massacre of fourteen Otulu young men in Awo-Omamma after a marriage ceremony where one woman lost two sons?
