Honourable Ray Emeama, Imo State Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused Gov­ernor Hope Uzodinma of banning former governor Emeka Ihedioha from entry Imo State.

While speaking on a local media on Friday, Emeama said that Uzodinma and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State were harassing and intimidat­ing members of PDP, to the point of beating up women who were at the airport to receive the former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives.

“Honourable Ihedioha has to cancel his trip to Imo State because APC spon­sored thugs beat up our women who were at the air­port to receive him.

“Knowing that the thugs could cause havoc in the state, Ihedioha in his wis­dom had to cancel his trip because of his respect for the sanctity of life” he said.

The PDP scribe urged Nigerians to call Uzodin­ma and Imo APC to order, stressing that they should stop terrorising people with different political views.

He said that the claim by the APC that Ihedioha’s arrival into the state would cause chaos did not hold wa­ter, maintaining that Uzod­inma should know that ev­erybody must not be in APC. (Saturday Independent)
