The Imo state governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has said that he is not being sponsored by anybody in the November 11, election.
Anyanwu, in a release signed by his Media Aide, Ikenna Onuoha, described the rumour as both mischievous and misleading.
The release reads, “the attention of the PDP Governorship candidate in Imo state, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has been drawn to a misleading and mischievous story on social media and in some quarters that he is being sponsored in the November 11, 2023 election.
“For the avoidance of doubt, this story is not only false, baseless, and misleading, but brazen concoction garnished by individuals already afraid of PDP and its Governorship candidate to deceive the general public.
“What the peddlers of this falsehood forgot is that, in 2019, Senator Anyanwu ran for the governorship election when the person purportedly sponsoring him today was also in the race.
“The questions are; who Sponsored Senator Samuel Anyanwu in 2019 governorship poll if in their mischievous imagination, he can be sponsored today? Whose interest was the PDP guber candidate protecting as far back as 2019 when some of those championing the fake news today were struggling to be be relevant.
“We wish to set the records straight that it is only a failure, a non-entity and a push-over that can be sponsored as a Governorship candidate to destabilize the position of Ndimo and not Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who represents the minds of every average Imo person.
“We are aware that APC government is still enjoying the wanton killings of innocent Nigerians, incessant kidnapping and total shutdown of all business in the country. We are also aware that the reason why these mischief makers resorted to blackmail is because, the National Secretary of PDP, resisted them from planting stooges as PDP Governorship aspirants prior to the party’s primary election.
“It is obvious that the peddlers of this uncharitable and divisive venom atmre jittery of the unity of purpose in PDP as a party which led to the adoption of a consensus option that culminated to the election of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the Standard Bearer of the party.
“In all of this, the PDP Governorship candidate is neither deterred nor troubled over the misleading stories. The only primary objective of our party, PDP and its Governorship Standard Bearer, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, is to sack the vicious, insensitive, retrogressive and inhuman APC administration in Imo state, to be able to secure our society from the senseless killings and economic shortfalls.
“Imo people and the general public are advised to ignore the fake news, and be rest assured that APC days in Douglas House are numbered.”
The PDP’s National Secretary emerged the guber candidate on Wednesday through a consensus arrangement, polling a total number of 802 votes.
