Imo: PDP says Mass Resignation in APC sign of failure of Uzodinma’s leadership

Austin Okoro DDM NEWS

The People’s Democratic Party PDP in Imo state has stated that the mass resignation of party leaders in APC is a sign of failure in Governor Uzodinma’s administration.

The Party noted that it’s a confirmation of a resounding vote of no confidence in APC and the governance of Imo state by Sen. Hope Uzodinma.

According to Lancelot Obiaku, Imo PDP spokesman in his Press release of Monday February 17th 2025.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Imo State chapter, is not surprised by the ongoing exodus of key figures from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State.

The recent resignations of notable party chieftains; Cajetan Duke, the party’s spokesman; Barr. Uchechukwu Wilson Nwosu, State Legal Adviser; and Blyden Amajironwu, former House of Assembly Member along with their thousands of followers, serve as yet another damning indictment of Governor Hope Uzodimma’s woeful administration.

The truth is that it is not often that we witness a mass departure from a ruling party that controls financial war chest enough to buy loyalty.

Hence, the fact that people who once benefitted from the APC-led government can no longer stomach the stench of its rot speaks volumes.

Obviously, the stifling incompetence, deceit, and maladministration that have defined Uzodimma’s reign have finally caught up with him, and his ship is sinking fast.

For years, Imo PDP has consistently warned that Chief Uzodimma lacks the vision, competence, and political acumen to govern a state as dynamic and educated as ours.

Under his watch, Imo State has suffered economic stagnation, infrastructural collapse, and a culture of impunity so brazen that even his closest allies can no longer feign ignorance.

His government, built on deception and brute force, has alienated even his own foot soldiers, who are now fleeing en masse rather than be associated with a failed regime.

It is interesting to see that those who once defended Uzodimma’s every misstep are now disowning him.

When high-ranking members of a ruling party and beneficiaries of the system begin to jump ship in droves, it ceases to be just an internal crisis and becomes a public declaration that governance has collapsed.

If those who propped him up have now lost faith in his leadership, why should the people of Imo continue to endure his disastrous misrule?

The truth is simple: Chief Uzodimma has reduced governance to a transactional enterprise where loyalty is bought, dissent is crushed, and public funds are either looted with reckless abandon or mindlessly misused.

He has no interest in the welfare of Imo people and is consumed with consolidating power for personal gain.

This explains why, despite receiving trillions in federal allocations, local government funds, and borrowings, Imo remains a land of abandoned projects, unpaid salaries, and deteriorating public services.

But Imolites are no fools. No sane individual would willingly remain in a government that has brought nothing but hardship, insecurity, and disgrace to our once-thriving state.

The ongoing defections confirm what we have always known: Hope Uzodimma has failed beyond redemption, and his administration is nothing but a ticking time bomb.

As the ruling party disintegrates under the weight of its own failures, the PDP remains the only viable alternative to restore Imo’s lost glory.

We have consistently championed accountability, people-oriented policies, and sustainable development.

We welcome every disillusioned APC member who has chosen to put the people first over personal gain. They are not defectors; they are people who have seen the light.

Clearly, Imo APC members and Imo people alike have lost faith in the Governor and the party.

The message is clear: Uzodimma’s time is up. The 2027 elections will present a defining moment for our state, a chance to reject his quest to elongate his incompetent regime by foisting his puppet as successor. Imo people would rather enthrone a purposeful leadership under the supervision of the PDP”, the spokesman noted.

This statement is in line with the earlier press release by APC spokesman Cajetan Duke about his resignation from his party APC.
