OWERRI—A socio-political group, Committee 21, has called on the national leadership of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to prevail on its leadership in Imo State to stop festering the new landscape of Imo with “political sores and bad breadth.”

In a statement by Collins Ugwu, the group said they have observed with calm the untidy theatrics of PDP on the tenure expiration of their “selected local government impostors”,packaged as elected chairmen and councillors.

The group observed that in all democratic engagements, contests and disagreements are certain, but are settled within the frameworks of constitutional interpretation.

Ugwu said: “Judicial process, as inconvenient as it might be, does not allow recourse to self-help by either party until the whole matter is finally determined.

“It is, therefore, a matter of grave concern that while this basic process is on-going at the highest court of  competent  jurisdiction, those who have waited through from the court of first instance to the Appeal Court, suddenly lost their  patience to allow the wheel of justice complete its course.”

The group called on Governor Rochas Okorocha to remain firm and accommodating in his mission to drive development in the state.
