Ahead of the nationwide protest slated for today, August 1, 2024, the Enugu State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said it uncovered plots by the leaderships of the Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Labour Party, LP, to hide under the guise of the proposed nationwide action to sponsor instability in the state.
In a statement by its state Chairman, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, on Wednesday, PDP said the Federal Government and security agencies should hold the leaderships of the two parties in the state responsible for any breach of peace in the name of protest in the state.
The statement reads, “The PDP is in possession of an impeccable intelligence revealing a sinister plot by the leaderships of the Labour Party to cause instability in the state under the cover of the nationwide protests.
It went further to say, “The intelligence shows that these opposition leaders have been seriously worried about the soaring popularity of the Governor Peter Mbah Administration occasioned by his evident development and infrastructural strides in the last 14 months. They see the nationwide protest as an opportunity to set the state back and get back at the governor for the 2023 losses.
The PDP in Enugu State enjoined citizens of the state to go about their legitimate businesses and never allow themselves to be used by political losers, who are hell-bent on fomenting strife in the state in the name of protest, refusing to come to terms with the fact that the 2023 election has been lost and won and that just as in the last governorship election, the people of Enugu State will vote capacity, pedigree, track record, and character in 2027, not empty propaganda and bitter rhetoric.
