Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, has said it’s his
turn to take charge of Imo State after Ikedi Ohakim, Emeka Ihedioha, and Hope
Uzodimma.
Anyanwu spoke in Owerri, the Imo State capital at the start
of a group called the ‘Polling Unit Movement for Sam Daddy.’ ‘Sam Daddy’ is
Anyanwu’s political moniker.
He mentioned that all of his fellow leaders who later took
charge of the state came from “the old PDP in Imo,” stressing that it would be
fair and just to give him the opportunity to lead when the voters go to the
polls next year.
He said, “We were four strong PDP members, myself, Hope
Uzodimma, Ikedi Ohakim, and Emeka Ihedioha.
“As God may have it, all three of them have ruled over Imo
state, and I have remained myself. I have come to take my turn and I believe
the other contestants will make space for me.”
Anyanwu admitted that political power is fought over, but he
said he is still focused on his goals.
“It’s true that power isn’t given, it’s taken. I’ll stay
focused on the ball,” he said.
He said he is confident about the PDP’s future, mentioning
that the party is growing stronger and gaining more supporters.
Anyanwu said: “Fortunately, the PDP is becoming stronger and
more united today. Our number is also growing by thousands.
“I’m saying this clearly and honestly, PDP is the only party
our people really trust, and we won’t let the people of Imo down.”
Anyanwu asked the new group members to work hard and get
support for the party in the rural areas.
He also warned about unfair practices during elections,
saying the PDP will send its own workers to watch over the polling stations.
Anyanwu said, “Listen to me, there’s nothing they know that
we do not know.
“And there’s nothing they possess that we don’t already
have. No matter how they want it done, we’re up for the challenge. But we’re
telling them that their tricks won’t work this time.
“We have placed our people around every polling station
where they will watch over the voting process and keep the ballots safe until
the results are declared in our favor.
“We have a lot of other things going on for Sam Daddy. We
have the parent body, ‘Divine Mandate’.
“We have the Mass Movement for Sam Daddy. I ask you to work
together with everyone to make sure the Imo people are involved in the new
song.”
