Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Imo State, Senator Samuel Anyanwu has urged Anglican Bishops across the state not to vote for any candidate that has failed the constitutional responsibility of curbing insecurity.
He appealed to them to vote for PDP whose previous administrations were adjudged to be most peaceful and prosperous.
Anyanwu said that Imo people have witnessed untold hardship since the incumbent Governor Hope Uzodimma took over the governorship seat, and warned that suffering, and starvation may continue if APC is allowed to continue in the state.
He advised those in the habit of killing pastors, and bishops to desist and repent to be useful in society.
Anyanwu said that for the tears of those killed to receive justice, the land of Imo state needs to be spiritually and physically appeased or cleansed to pave the way for the growth and development of the church as well as the society at large.

The PDP candidate stated this while speaking as a guest at the 2023 3rd session of the 22nd Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Owerri held at the Christ Church, Owerri with the theme: “Effective Use of Your Spiritual Gifts for Service and Church Growth”.
He promised to approve yearly subvention for the revival of mission schools and the religious groups in the state.
Anyanwu called on them to mobilise their members across the state for PDP, assuring them of his desire to stop insecurity, boost agriculture, construct quality rural and urban roads and bring peace back to the state.
