The Imo state government on Monday denied reports that it invaded the village NLC President Joe Ajaero
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba said, for Ajaero to be making such allegations against the state government shows that he has lost his mental balance
Emelumba, who was responding to inquiries from EkweAnaedo News concerning the allegation, declared: “It is obvious that Ajaero and his band of alarmists have gone mad and thrown every decorum to the wind”.
According to him, “because the embattled NLC president is a card carrying member of the Labour Party, it’s not surprising that he is throwing up every possible blackmail and falsehood in the vain hope that such pranks will help his party on November 11th.”
The Commissioner wondered what it would profit the governor to invade the village of Ajaero when the man was bereft of any electoral value.
He also said it is laughable that there was no pictoral evidence anywhere or police report to corroborate such a weighty allegation of an invasion of a village.
“Indeed, this latest allegation that the governor attacked his village on November 4th can only pass for a cheap, baseless and vicious propaganda.”
Emelumba said it is necessary for Ajaero to stop his hallucinations and face squarely the consequences of the division he created in Imo NLC as a result of his partisan politics.
He said no amount of propaganda and falsehood would save Ajaero and his Labour Party from a crushing defeat by the APC on the governorship election.
The Commissioner regretted that the once peaceful and respected NLC has been desecrated because of the ego of Ajaero and urged the media to be circumspect of any claim by the embattled NLC and LP chieftain.
