Democracy Day: Imo PDP accuses Uzodinma of undermining rule of law, separation of power

On Nigeria's 27th Democracy Day, the Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused Governor Hope Uzodinma of undermining the rule of law and separation of powers. The party cited arbitrary use of force, lack of accountability in public funds, and disrespect for democratic institutions. It alleged that nearly N700 billion in local government allocations had been squandered, and that the governor had refused to conduct local elections, instead appointing sole administrators. The PDP also criticized the appointment of a Chief Judge without consulting the National Judicial Council.
