The Imo State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has accused the state governor, Hope Uzodimma of piloting to rig the November governorship election in the state.
The LP made the accusation at a press conference in Owerri, the state capital, on Thursday, while condemning the arrest and brutalization of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, in Owerri.
Imo State LP Chairman, Calistus Ihejiagwa, who addressed the press conference, said that Uzodinma was clamping down on all opposing voices, including union leaders, journalists and activists.
