Enugu Government Accuses Opposition of Election Violence Plot
The Enugu State Government announced it has uncovered plans by opposition elements to import armed thugs and bandits into the state to instigate panic ahead of the 2027 general elections. Professor Chidiebere Onyia, the Secretary to the State Government, made these claims during a press conference at Government House, Enugu.
He criticized leaders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for observing a minute's silence for the living to gain political leverage. Onyia asserted that the peace achieved in Enugu over the past three years is non-negotiable.
He affirmed the administration's commitment to protecting citizens' rights to free and fair elections, expressing confidence in securing a second term for Governor Peter Mbah based on his performance. Onyia addressed incidents involving the NDC at Akanu Ibiam International Airport and the party's state secretariat, denying any government involvement and stating that the police are investigating the shooting incident at the secretariat.
