(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA in Imo State has berated President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that his scheduled visit to the state is a huge mockery on the people of the state.

APGA disclosed this in a statement issued to the press on Wednesday saying that President Buhari must be taken to the Federal Medical Center, FMC, Owerri, mortuary department to see for himself, the dead bodies of innocent Imo youths killed by unknown gunmen.

A statement signed by John Iwuala, the APGA Chairman in Imo stated that the party wants to know what the President’s visit intends to achieve.

According to APGA, it expects the President to condemn the killing of Imo youths which it describes as ‘a youthful ethnic extermination’.

It said: “We expect Mr President to condole with the families of these young youths that were extrajudicially murdered in their prime age.

“Just this morning, over the radio we learnt that the President is coming to commission traffic lights, streetlights, re-painted Wethedral and Okigwe roads, Egbu-Chukwuma Nwoha road, relief market road, though it has been commissioned twice, no problem.

“We also gathered that Mr President is to commission the flood control system as the Governor claimed to have taken care of the flood in Owerri, while Ndi Imo are opting for canoe transportation due to heavy floods after rains. Even the former APC Governor said the rains in Imo State are acidic rains etc.

“We expect the President to take responsibility for their killings as well as the killing of police and army officers who lost their lives during the time of heightened insecurity.

“The President must apologize to Ndimo for the bad leadership his party, APC has imposed on Ndi Imo right from the former APC Governor of Imo State till this present Governor.”
