A
pressure group, Okigwe Advancement Initiative OAI, has cautioned the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP), candidate, for the Okigwe senatorial
rerun election, former Senator Athan Achonu, to stop killing innocent
citizens of Okigwe zone, in desperation to win elections.
This
is as the group warns that further killings of innocent Okigwe zonal
citizens, by the loyalist of the PDP candidate, will be vehemently
rejected by the people, adding that the antecedent of the PDP candidate
since his childhood, which they noted were rooted in desperation and
violence, lent credence to their conclusion that the killers, who are
members of the PDP did not act without instruction.
According
to the group, the recent killing of two APC members in Okigwe local
government area, the kidnap of an APC leader in Isiala Mbano, the
assassination attempt on Chief Chikwem Onuoha and the maiming of nine
other members of the APC, portrayed Chief Athan Achonu, as a desperate
politician whose conscience is completely dead, stressing that politics
is about the people.
“’
it is an insult on the sensibility of the entire Okigwe zone, for a
former senator who cannot point to anything, as his achievement for the
number of months he was in the senate, to turn around to hush,
intimidate and kill innocent people for the sake of going back to the
senate’’.
The
group in a statement signed by its Chairman and secretary, Dr. Ikenna
Ikoku and Barr Ken Ihuoma, respectively noted that the killings has
caused pain, grief, anguish, as well instilled fear among people of the
zone and yet, the PDP candidate, Athan Achonu, who is been blamed for
the killing has not deemed it fit to react or apologize to the people.
They
said, “ it is sad to note that the security of life and property of our
people, as well as, their plight, is not of concern to a man who is
desperately scheming to represent them in the senate’’.
