Anyanwu Blasts Imo Govt Over Erosion Menace In Ideato

The National Secretary of the People's Democratic Party PDP Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has blamed the Imo state government for the ecological disaster ravaging Ideato Federal Constituency.

Senator Anyanwu who is popularly known as Samdaddy disclosed that it was the insistence of the Senator Hope Uzodimma led administration to supervise the execution of the N10Billion World Bank Erosion Control Project in the Ideato Federal Constituency that cost the state the project.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Ikenna Onuoha, Samdaddy said the debilitating sufferings which the people of the constituency are facing today would have been averted had the state government not bungle the project.

He added that by failing to comply with the contract guidelines, the Uzodimma administration deliberately allowed erosion to continue to destroy the Ideato area.

The 2023 Gubernatorial Candidate of the PDP in Imo State blasted the APC administration as insensitive, non-proactive and irresponsible.

He said; "A proactive administration does not need any applause from the citizens before embarking on its constitutional responsibilities, but in the case of the APC led Imo state government, such obligations have been downplayed over personal gains.

"The APC administration in the state is insensitive, non-proactive, and irresponsible.

"A situation where the people of Ideato nation and other parts of the state find it difficult to access the state capital on a motorable road despite huge resources available to the government is most unwholesome, pathetic and injurious to the fortunes of the state.

"It is debasing that a contract initiated by previous administrations with the World Bank for the control of erosion menace in Ideato axis was flagrantly and arbitrarily terminated by Uzodmma's administration simply because the government's request to supervise the project and payment of N500 million counterpart fund was disallowed by the World Bank.

"The question is; if this government could treat the masses this way, what other dividends of democracy will Uzodimma's administration offer to Imo people after displaying high level of ignominy, slur, infamy, intense dislike and utter abandonment of a N10 billion erosion control project in Urualla?

"It is regrettable to posit that if Uzodimma's APC-led administration had allowed this project to continue, the issue of the devastating erosion menace in Ideato North and South LGAs would have been tackled. The government should consider the fact that it was elected to hold power in trust for the people and stop behaving as if Imo people do not have any stake in the state."
