Enugu APC accuses PDP of destruction
The All Progressives Congress in Enugu State has accused the Peoples Democratic Party of wilfully destroying the campaign posters and billboards of the APC candidates in the state.
The state chairman of the APC, Dr. Ben Nwoye, who made the allegation at a news conference, said the party had already petitioned the security agencies over the development.
Nwoye said the destruction of APC billboards had intensified since the party elected Okey Ezea as its governorship candidate.
Nwoye said, Before the primary people were wondering if the PDP candidates were the only candidates in Enugu, but immediately after Okey Ezea emerged, we kicked off our publicity by mounting billboards.
The billboards were to advertise our candidate and to tell the world that here is our candidate.
Unfortunately, those who are interested in ensuring that there will be no democracy in Enugu and who have indeed found their own safe haven in PDP, who have perfected these acts of evil from 1999 to present, resurrected last night and went on a rampage and destroyed billboards mounted by us at Nsukka.
They also went to Obba and destroyed billboards mounted by our candidate for Igboeze North/Udenu Federal Constituency.
The APC chairman also alleged that the partys candidates and their supporters had been receiving death threats from an alleged PDP killer squad in the state.
He said, Before now, we get a lot of calls by members in Nsukka area, supporters of Okey Ezea, supporters of APC, have been receiving threats by the killer squad who have been groomed and put in place by the PDP leadership since 16 years ago.
They have perfected the act of intimidation and murderous movement.
