IDP Camp in Ehime Mbano: APC Govt is Anti-People, Visionless – Anyanwu
… Says, its hidden agenda against the Masses yet to be Unveiled

Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has described as anti-people the establishment of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Imo state by the All Progressive Congress (APC), describing it as an underground plot to expose innocent and harmless Imo citizens to danger.
According to the press release from the Media Aide, Dr. Ikenna Onuoha stated that APC government in the state should cover its face in shame for claiming that it has no idea of the establishment of such a life-threatening camp where “refugees” from the Boko Haram ravaged Northern region are deployed for settlement.
It is not only despicable and deliberate intention by APC administration to trade Imo people for money, but an afront by the present administration in the state to tactically house “unknown” individuals for a hidden assignment the government is yet to unveil.
As a leader that believes in the growth, development and success of Imo state and its citizens, such disturbing camp if allowed to operate may likely spark-off tribal conflict, trigger religious war, adversely affect agricultural produce, discourage farming, and create panic across the state.
It is a deliberate attempt to mock Imo people in the midst of debilitating, excruciating and harsh economy the government of APC has brought them into. The questions the present administration in the state has failed to answer are; what has it done to bring smile and laughter on the faces of Imo citizens? Why is the government in a haste and so concerned about establishing a refugee camp that would house foreigners rather than building factories, ensuring that the premises of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) in Ehime Mbano is equiped? What is the government’s hidden agenda for establishing this camp? Imo people need explanation within 48 hours.
While Imo people await urgent response from the government, there is every reason to conclude that APC administration in Imo state does not have shame, no vision, no blueprint, no definite direction and no plan for the citizens apart from frivolities. The government has flagrantly ignored all channels to bring peace, unity and cohesion, despite the resources available to it. It has rather compounded its problems and challenges because, those piloting its affairs are insensitive and visionless. This is the height of it all!
Anyanwu therefore urges aggrieved Imo people to remain peaceful, law abiding and shun any act that may trigger crisis in the state.
