“5.That we stand by our claims that while Mr. Rex Anunobi served as Commissioner for Transport in Imo State, there were so many shabby deals he got himself involved.
“6. That we want Rex Anunobi to concentrate on Governor Hope Uzodimma’s administration instead of going behind to work for Chief Uche Nwosu’s Governorship bid in 2027.
“7. That Professor Maurice Iwu will never descend so low to their level, let alone joining issues with well known political jobbers like them.
“8. That Orlu Progressive Forum and Orlu People’s Consultative Assembly are known roadside political group designed by Rex Anunobi and Cosmas Nwadike to use to meek the unsuspecting members of the public.
“9. That we are standing behind our big brother and father, Professor Maurice Iwu and we shall defend him till the end.
