The Governorship Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has appealed to Anglican Bishops across Imo state to vote for PDP whose previous administrations were considered to be most peaceful and prosperous and not for any candidate that has failed the constitutional responsibility of curbing insecurity.
Anyanwu noted that Imo people have witnessed untold hardship since Uzodinma took over the governorship seat, and warned that suffering, and starvation may continue if APC is allowed to continue in the state.
The PDP flag bearer stated this while speaking as a Guest at the 2023 3rd session of the 22nd Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Owerri held at the Christ Church, Owerri with the theme: “Effective Use of Your Spiritual Gifts for Service and Church Growth”.
He said that so far, lots of human lives have been wasted in the state, regretting that most of the people murdered in cold blood for committing no offence are still crying for justice. He advised those in the habit of killing pastors, and Bishops to desist and repent to be useful in society.
Anyanwu maintained that for the tears of those killed to receive justice, the land of Imo state needs to be spiritually and physically appeased or cleansed to pave the way for the growth and development of the Church as well as the society at large.
According to him, “Society is gradually going down the drain simply because political leaders in all spheres of public office have refused to activate their spiritual lives to reflect the present realities”, adding that until leaders begin to imbibe the spiritual life of Christ in them, the growth of the society would continue to wane.
He therefore called on bishops to mobilize their members across the state for PDP, assuring them of his desire to stop insecurity, boost agriculture, construct quality rural and urban roads and bring peace back to the state.
