Ihedioha accuses imo government of plotting to arrest his supporters

A recent development in Imo State, Nigeria!

According to reports, Emeka Ihedioha, the former Governor of Imo State, has accused the current government of plotting to arrest his supporters. This is a serious allegation that has sparked concerns about the safety and well-being of Ihedioha's supporters in the state.

Ihedioha, who was impeached and replaced by Hope Uzodinma in January 2020, has been a vocal critic of the current administration in Imo State. He has accused the government of corruption, mismanagement, and human rights abuses.

In a statement issued by his media aide, Ihedioha alleged that the government is planning to arrest and intimidate his supporters, including members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who are opposed to the current administration.

The statement reads: "We have received credible intelligence that the Imo State Government, under the watch of Governor Hope Uzodinma, is planning to arrest and harass our supporters, including members of the PDP, who are opposed to the current administration's policies and actions."

Ihedioha has called on the government to desist from such actions, which he described as "undemocratic and unconstitutional". He also urged his supporters to remain calm and peaceful, despite the alleged plot to arrest them.

This development has sparked concerns about the state of democracy in Imo State and the safety of opposition members and supporters. It is essential for the government to address these concerns and ensure that all citizens are protected and allowed to exercise their fundamental rights, including the right to freedom of expression and association.
