A powerful pressure group, the Concerned Imo Influencers, has declared that that Imo must be liberated and God has given Imolites a true liberator in the person of Senator Athan Achonu, the Imo State Labour Party Governorship candidate for the November 11 Gubernatorial election.
This declaration was made by the chief coordinator, Concerned Imo Influencers, Ambassador Theo Chibueze, when the group hosted Senator Athan Achonu, the Imo Labour Party, LP, Governorship candidate for the November 11 polls, as well as his running mate Rt. Hon. Tony Nwulu, in Lagos, on Saturday, 15th July, 2023.
Amb. Chibueze, who hailed Sen. Achonu for deeming it necessary to come and rub minds with Imo people in Lagos, equally appreciated the large and impressive audience of great and excited faces that had come to honour the invitation to have a one-on-one meeting with Senator Achonu, before the guber campaign commences fully.
Assuring Senator Achonu that the Concerned Imo Influencers was not new to this kind of assignment, having worked for and delivered former Governor Ikedi Ohakim as governor, as well played a big role during the senatorial contest of Sen. Achonu hinself, under a different nomenclature, Amb. Chibueze affirmed that the group intended to influence family members, kindred, and wards; all eligible voters in Imo, through every legitimate means to vote for Sen. Achonu, in the collective effort to deliver of this particular assignment.
Speaking further, Amb. Chibueze, while lamenting that the evil that has befallen Imo State in the recent past is of great concern to all Imolites and required a concerted and united effort to deal with, used the opportunity to invite all Imo people, especially the youths, to join the bandwagon and cause the much-needed change to happen in our dear state.
“Imo must be liberated, and God has given us a liberator, Sen. Athan Achonu, who is in our midst today,” he said emphatically, adding that the occasion stems from the fact that Senator Achonu holds Imo people resident in Lagos in high esteem and wants to formally inform the people about his ambition to rescue Imo from the deplorable state it has found itself currently.
Amb. Chibueze informed the gathering that Sen. Achonu equally wanted to use the platform to address some issues and false allegations being peddled on social media by propagandists and disabuse the minds of great Imolites, who must refuse to be deceived again and urged the audience to avail themselves of the opportunity to clear their minds of every doubt that might have been planted by the haters of Imo State, masquerading as saviours.
“We pray that at the end of this event, we shall all arrive at one decision, which is that we shall all move down en masse to imo state on November 11 and deploy our votes to rescue our dear State”, he concluded with conviction.
