Debo Ologunagba, the PDP National Publicity Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>According to the PDP, the fake video confirmed that Uzodinma was in mortal fear of the popularity of the PDP candidate and had to resort to last-minute underhand methods in a failed attempt to get him out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>The statement further claimed that Uzodinma had demonstrated that he was not ready to contest in a peaceful, free, fair and transparent election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) asserts that its candidate in the Saturday, November 11, 2023, governorship election in Imo State, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, is not deterred but set for victory despite the malicious fake video reportedly produced and circulated by Governor Hope Uzodinma and the All Progressives Congress (APC) against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP describes as barbaric and shameful that the APC candidate, Governor Hope Uzodinma could descend so low to allegedly sponsor a fake video against the PDP candidate in a bid to mislead the people of Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fake video, typical of \u2018419\u2019 inclination, only goes to confirm that Governor Uzodinma is in mortal fear of the popularity of the PDP candidate, Senator Anyanwu and had to resort to last-minute underhand method in a failed attempt to get Senator Anyanwu out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP restates that our candidate, Senator Anyanwu, is very much in the governorship race. The people of Imo should disregard the said video, as it is completely FALSE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there is anybody that should withdraw from the race, it is Governor Uzodinma, who has amply demonstrated that he is not ready to contest in a peaceful, free, fair and transparent election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP calls on INEC to disqualify the APC and Governor Uzodimma as their reported involvement in producing and circulating the fake video constitutes a gross violation of the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022, the Nigerian Criminal Code and Cyber Crime Law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
