The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it will not fold its hands while insurgents try to turn Imo state into a killing field.

This position from the ruling party was in reaction to the recent attacks on the state which climaxed to the razing of Governor Hope Uzodinma's country residence in Omuma village.

In a tweet on Monday, April 26, John Akpanudoedehe, the national secretary of the caretaker/extraordinary convention planning, said the APC is still in amazement over the dangerous and gruesome development in the state.

Describing the trend as an attack on Nigeria's democracy, the APC said:

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) has closely monitored dangerous developments in Imo State which culminated in Saturday’s brazen and gruesome attack on the residence of the State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma.

“The party and indeed our security services will definitely not watch helplessly as some persons and interests attempt to turn Imo State into a killing field. We call on the good people of Imo state to go about their legal activities without fear and resist these enemies of the state.”

However, Akpanudoedehe, on behalf of the party, sent a message of solidarity to the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) for its efforts to neutralise bandits in the southeast generally.

The party also sent its condolences to victims of the mindless terror unleashed on them by evil fellows.
