Imo State Elders Forum has called on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members to sheath their swords and tow the part of peace so that the present government can have the enabling environment to deliver good governance.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, the spokesman for the group, Chief Lemmy Akakem, alleged the clandestine gang up by the PDP to cause further mayhem and disturb the peace of the state.
He said: “It is clear that the elections are over. It is clear that people that are aggrieved went to Court. It is equally clear that the Supreme Court has given its verdict and re-affirmed it in the review. Election is over and now is the time for governance.”
Akakem warned that elders in the state would not condone acts that would breach public peace in the state.
He pointed out that Governor Hope Uzodimma was magnanimous in victory and has shown great courage in calling his political opponents to join hands with him to move the state forward.
While cautioning parents to keep tab on their wards so as not to be used as political touts, Akakem stressed that security agencies were on the alert and would deal decisively with any person or group breaching public peace.
Akakem also called on all Imo sons and daughters to rally round Governor Uzodimma for him to deliver on his electoral promises and achieve the lofty ideals of his administration.
