As president Muhammdu Buhari visits Imo state today, the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the proposed visit as a “mockery” of Imolites.
In a statement issued by Imo PDP publicity secretary, Ogubundu Nwadike on Wednesday, the party urged the president to use his visit to “mend fences” with residents.
The statement reads: “For us in PDP, the presidential visit is a deliberate ploy to mock the people of the state to their very face. This is callous and inhuman. Consequently, we invite the president, if he is really the father of the nation, to use the occasion of his visit to look inwards with a view to righting the grave wrongs he has done to the people of the state. The president can show some humility and remorse and use the occasion to mend fences with the people,”

“The president should also use his good offices to clip the wings of the governor who runs the state from outside. A mere fanfare will not help the bad situation in the state. Rather, it will generate more anger and acrimony.”
