The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has mocked Governor of the state, Hope Uzodinma over the frequent visits to President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso villa without positive outcomes to contain the challenges facing the state.
The Director of New Media of the PDP in Imo state, Collins Opuruzor claimed that the governor only benefits in Aso rock to pose for photographs with the president.

He has instead blamed everyone else and everything else for it but himself. If he was duly elected, he would have known that the security of lives and property should be his first-line obligation. But, unfortunately, he wasn’t.
“It is time for President Buhari and his handlers in Aso Rock tell Uzodinma the bitter truth. “Go and solve the problems in your state. Aso Rock is not a photo studio,
