Hope Uzodimma, the governor of Imo State and chairman of the South East Governors Forum, has pledged to identify the assassin responsible for the deaths in her state.
In a Friday interview with Channels Television Politics Today, the governor vowed to find those responsible for the state’s unrest in a matter of weeks and blamed politics for it.
Uzodimma asserted that APC members and officials in his administration made up 90% of those killed in the state, pointing out that this kind of insecurity only affects one political party.

He said: “In a few weeks’ time – what we have deployed now, we will soon unravel those behind the killings and insecurity in Imo State.
“I have told the security to tell me the reasons behind it. It is not a coincidence that many people who are being killed are members of my party, APC. A child cries in the night, and in the day, it is lying lifeless.
“It is not also a coincidence that only lately, prominent members of my party that they participated in the last election – their houses are being attacked. Some traditional rulers that I have sympathy for our party, their party were also being attacked.
“I plead with those people who are behind the killings in Imo State, blaming and kidnapping of human beings in Imo state in the name of politics to stop, I said this times without number that the insecurity in Imo state is politically contrived and those who are behind it know themselves.”
