Imo Ugochinyere, a CUPP spokesperson, told reporters in Abuja on Wednesday that President Muhammadu Buhari should call Uzodinma, accusing him of undermining the country’s democracy.
Ugochinyere, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate in Imo state whose house was recently burned down by hoodlums, recently stated “I call on Imo people to stand up, don’t be scared. Imo belongs to us all. We cannot surrender it to people who lack the decency and popular way to be in office.
“With courage and unity, we can recover Imo State from this ongoing madness; they don’t own the state. They didn’t build it nor contributed to the creation of Imo State.
“We must stop them from burning down and destroying Imo State…we must send these strange men away by the power of the ballot.
“We call on the international community, who we shall take time out to visit all their embassies starting from today to submit petitions on some of the evidence we have on the killings going on in Imo State and pray for appropriate intervention sanctions.
