The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly denied any connection to a purported fake video declaring the withdrawal of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Imo State gubernatorial candidate.
According to Felix Morka, the APC’s spokesperson, the party accuses the PDP of engaging in “crass irresponsibility” and dismisses their demand for the disqualification of Governor Hope Uzodinma as unfounded.
He said, “To be crystal clear, neither Governor Uzodinma nor our great party had any hand in making or procuring the making of that video. Our Governor and Party have been hard at work campaigning to persuade the good Imo electorate to renew our mandate to have any interest or time for such a piece of frivolous and unhelpful propaganda.
“At the end of any credible investigation into the video’s origins, we will not be shocked to discover that it was a malicious creation of the PDP in a calculated but futile attempt to smear Governor Uzodinma and our Party, exactly as this baseless and senseless allegation sought to do.
“Clearly, the unmatched track record and popularity of our candidate makes the PDP quiver in desperate panic. We are confident that no last-minute antics of the PDP will deter the good people of Imo State who are poised to reelect our Governor to finish the good work he has started,” the party said.
