The Eliozu Youth Association, CDC Chairman, and CDC Secretary have issued a joint statement vehemently denying the allegations and exposing Ihunwo’s true intentions. They revealed that Amaewhule has not visited his hometown in days and did not lead or sponsor anyone to disrupt the health program. Instead, they alleged that Ihunwo, notorious for his thuggish behavior, stormed the community with imported thugs, causing chaos and attempting to use the health center for his political rallies.
Furthermore, the group condemned Ihunwo’s previous attacks on Amaewhule’s family, including the October 31, 2023, incident where he led thugs to attack Amaewhule’s official residence. They also highlighted Ihunwo’s threat to “return fire for fire” and his call for the President to sack the IG of police, which they believe is a clear indication of his desperation and willingness to incite violence.
The group has urged the public to disregard Ihunwo’s allegations, describing them as “despicable lies” and “a smear campaign” orchestrated by his sponsors. They have also called on security agencies to take Ihunwo’s threats seriously, believing he is a danger to peace and stability in the state.
The statement concludes by expressing unwavering support for Amaewhule and his contributions to the constituency and Rivers State, and gratitude to Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike for his unwavering support. They also commend the police and security agencies for maintaining peace in the state and country.
