I don’t believe governor is unaware of Ebonyi attacks — Nwobo

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Emmanuel Nwobo, has alleged that most of the atrocities being committed in the state are carried out by aides of the governor.

Nwobo, while speaking on the situation in the state, said he found it difficult to believe that Governor Francis Nwifuru was unaware of the alleged attacks and intimidation directed at opposition figures.

The PDP chieftain also alleged that statements had been circulated on social media suggesting that opposition political parties would not be allowed to operate in Ebonyi.

“I don’t want to believe the Governor is not aware of what is happening,” Nwobo said.

He alleged that several incidents had been reported to security agencies through petitions, but expressed concern over what he described as a lack of adequate response.

“They put it on social media saying no opposition party will be allowed in the state. After these attacks, petitions have been made to security agencies but the response has been cold,” he said.

Nwobo’s allegations come amid concerns over political activities and the treatment of opposition parties in Ebonyi State.

He maintained that the alleged actions of individuals linked to the state government should not be allowed to undermine political participation and democratic activities in the state.

However, the allegations made by Nwobo are claims by the PDP chieftain, and no independent evidence was provided in the statement to substantiate his accusations against the governor’s aides.
