The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ebonyi state, has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of planning to arrest its prominent stakeholders.
The state chairman, Tochukwu Okorie stated this while speaking to newsmen in Abakaliki
He said the APC was trying to connect the PDP Party chieftains to the murder in 13 Local Government Areas in the state.
Okorie stated that their plan was to soil the Image of the party due to the upcoming 2023 elections.
He said: “We have it in good authority that on 10th of February 2022, Ebonyi State government called a meeting in which the attendees were essentially the leaders of Ebubeagu militia that operate in the state. There was a follow-up yesterday and this meeting was called to address the nagging issue of security in Ebonyi State.
“The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Ebonyi State chapter has raised an alarm following the incessant incidents of brutality and killings attributed to Ebubeagu Security operatives.
“Following the alarm we raised, a number of persons have gone to court to challenge the legality or otherwise of the law that set up Ebubeagu and other matters. It is consequent upon those developments, that the said meeting was called.
“And in that meeting, they came out with a resolution, that going forward, the only way to stop the PDP and the opposition in the state from further challenging the brutality that Ebubeagu metes on the citizens of the state is to begin to implicate leaders of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and other stakeholders who are in position parties in crimes and phantom situations in other to demoralize and whittle the popularity and influence that the PDP has commanded in the state
