Protest: Enugu PDP Fingers APC, LP Leaderships In Plot To Cause Unrest

The Enugu State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it has uncovered plots by the leadership of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP) to hide under the cover of the proposed nationwide action to sponsor instability in the state.

The party in a statement by its state Chairman, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, yesterday, 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 says in part: “The PDP is in possession of an impeccable intelligence revealing a sinister plot by the leaderships of the Labour Party in Enugu State, and their newfound allies in the Enugu Labour Party to cause instability in the state under the cover of the nationwide protests.

“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. “Besides creating instability, their plot is also to create the impression that Governor Mbah is sponsoring protests against the President Bola Tinubu Administration.”
