Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has reassured that there will be enough security during the forthcoming elections.

He gave the assurance in a meeting in Owerri with the All Progressives Congress (APC) ward, local government, zonal executives, State Executive members, Sole Administrators, Development Centre Chairmen and former Interim Management Chairmen of the Councils in Imo State.

Uzodimma said he was not unaware of the killings orchestrated by non-state actors and their sponsors and targeting mainly APC members.

He assured the party leaders that government will provide sufficient security to stop all forms of threats and harassment of innocent citizens capable of preventing them from voting their preferred candidates and party in the forthcoming elections.

The governor who said he was aware of reports of intimidations, persecutions, harassments and threats said: “We will have peaceful elections in Imo State and no person or group of persons will stop Imo people from exercising their electoral responsibilities.”
