Former Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Collins Opuruzor who recently resigned and dump his party with six other exco members, has revealed that more trouble times await the party.
He claimed that about 90 percent of members of the party are plotting to sabotage and deprive the governorship candidate, senator Samuel Anyanwu his victory in the scheduled November, 11 election in the State.
Opuruzor who is also the spokesperson of the G-7 that resigned from PDP disclosed in a statement on Sunday that the PDP governorship candidate who is also the party’s National scribe has destroyed the party in the State prompting the mass exit of its members.
The ex PDP information officer has also waved of the thought of his rescinding his decision of returning to the party,insisting rather that he prefers settling down with the All Progressives Congress(APC) . More over, he claimed that his former party has become a “theatre of violence” where thuggery is the order of the day.
He said “Today, over ninety percent of PDP members in Imo state are getting set to sabotage their party at the polls in November. There is no leadership, and Senator Samuel Anyanwu has no capacity to provide one. There is no cohesion.
“There is no more political party in the real sense. And the situation cannot be remedied, because everyone knows that Senator Anyanwu is the greatest kingpin of party sabotage and brazen anti-party activities.
“Preliminary report of the party’s reconciliation committee has shown that the internal contradictions within the party are irreconcilable, and that the law of sowing and reaping is still effective in the affairs of men.
“I find it compelling to respond to certain unfounded insinuation that, perhaps, I am under pressure to rescind my resignation and return to the PDP after my defection to the APC. Peddlers of this misinformation, I rebuke you by the Blood of the Lamb!
“What is further baffling is the moonlight tale, that certain senior members of my former party have elected to mobilize resources to ensure my return. I totally dissociate myself from such idle talks. If there were actually persons championing such an impossible task, the task remains impossible and their motive remains known to themselves alone”. Opuruzor said.
He added ” To be clear, my decision to exit the PDP is unyielding and irreversible. It was reached after a dispassionate analysis of the situation in Imo PDP and the state at large. And far from being driven by immediate personal gains, the ultimate goal is to contribute to building the Imo of my dreams through direct participation in the process of governance.
“Moreover, while in office as Imo PDP Spokesman, I was confronted with the moral burden of defending a system which I knew was unjust, decayed and dysfunctional, and by far worse than the system which I ought to oppose. Pretense is not an index of integrity, but sincerity is. I had to walk away. And I am glad I did.
“Imo PDP has become a theater of violence, primitive cruelty and tyrannical display of nake power, even when their unelectable governorship candidate keeps sloganeering about “making Imo safe again”! What an irony!
