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.

Ambode visits Fashola

Ambode and Fashola

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Lagos State governorship election in 2015 general elections, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, on Monday visited the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN) in his office.

The visit was seen by many as the beginning of the end to the acrimony that trailed the APC governorship primary which pitted one of the national leaders of the APC, Senator Bola Tinubu against his political godson, Fashola.

Fashola had reportedly supported a former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the Justice in the state, Mr. Olasupo Shasore (SAN), while Tinubu backed Ambode.

Political observers had thought that the outcome of the primary would disunite the state APC and destroy the relationship between Fashola and Tinubu.

But Mondays visit of Ambode to Fashola and the governors well-publicised congratulatory message to the APC governorship candidate had put paid to this.

It was learnt that during the meeting, Ambode sought Fasholas support for next years election
