-He Can’t Have A Crowd That Can Fill The Stadium.
We have heard the false claim by Chief Hope Uzodinma, the Adams Oshiomhole’s preferred governorship Candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Imo State, that he asked for the Dan Anyiam Stadium for his flag off Campaign and the government refused to give him the Stadium.
For those who know Chief Hope Uzodinma very well, they won’t be surprised that he could come up with this false Claim on the issue. Only men like Adams Oshiomhole would believe him.
Since Governor Rochas Okorocha became governor in 2011, the Dan Anyiam has always been made available for all the Political Parties and Candidates to use, not minding the Political affiliations.
The Stadium is the property of Imo people and Chief Uzodinma would not have been denied the opportunity of using the facility for the flag-off of his Campaign if he had asked or applied for it.
He never applied to use the Stadium especially when a press release had been issued days before the flag-off of his Campaign that the governor had directed that the Stadium should be released free to Political Parties and Candidates who would like to use it for their rallies or for other Political activities.
As usual, Chief Uzodinma wanted to use the Stadium issue to blackmail the governor and to continue to deceive men like Oshiomhole.
The truth is that Chief Hope Uzodinma cannot raise upto one thousand people, talk more raising a crowd that would fill the Stadium. He does not have the Capacity. He knows his handicaps. Where would Chief Uzodinma get the crowd to fill the Stadium?
Last time, he published a crowd of an event that took place in the north as the crowd that graced his rally when he was named the Candidate of the Party. And Senator Araraume’s men also used the picture of the same crowd. We exposed them on that.
Men and women of goodwill should ignore Chief Uzodinma’s Claim for who he is.
We also forward the release on the use of Dan Anyiam Stadium issued earlier.
