The gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in Imo State, Dr. Casimire Anyanwu, has denied selling his ticket for N10 billion as being rumoured ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Anyanwu, at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, frowned at the allegation, insisting that he was still in the race to salvage the people of the state from what he called “the dungeons of leadership” faced over the years.
He also expressed hope that, come 2019, SDP will take over Douglas House, claiming that the leaderships of the All Progressives Congress (APC), People Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) had failed to provide befitting governance for the people of Imo State.
“I scored 885 valid votes to beat my competitors with a very wide margin. With the past few weeks I have been bedeviled by all kinds of calls alleging that I have sold my mandate to one Okey Eze.
“And it has also been alleged that I collected N10 billion to sell the mandate.
“In the words of United States President, Donald Trump, it is fake news, malicious and wicked misinformation at this time in my life.
“My mandate was freely given to me by the good people of Imo State that no amount of money will make me betray the trust of the good people who need salvation at this point in time. I shall fight for my mandate with every energy in my body and at my disposal.”
The husband to a two-term Senator, Chris Anyanwu, said he joined the race to uplift the people’s standard of living
“The reason why I came into the race is to make a difference in the lives of the poor Imo people who have been abused and kicked around for some years now,” he promised.
