ENUGU’S WORSENING INSECURITY:APGA SUSPENDS GUBER CAMPAIGN, CALLS OUT PDP LED STATE GOVT FOR NOT BEING RESOLUTE

Enugu: Due to worsening insecurity in the State and following the latest bloody attacks by suspected herdsmen on Eha-Amufu communities in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in the state, Mr Frank Nweke Jr has suspended his campaign tours.

In a statement issued on Thursday the Okeifufe Campaign Organization equally called out the PDP led State Government, insisting that “resolute actions must be taken by the PDP-led administration to arrest the situation, have the perpetrators punished and ensure that these communities are properly restored to a sense of normalcy”.

The statement reads:

“Following the incessant and rising cases of insecurity in the State and most recently, the grotesque attacks on our brothers and sisters at Agu-Amede, Mgbuji, Umujiovu, Abor communities in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State by suspected herdsmen, the All Progressives Grand Alliance has suspended our gubernatorial campaign activities for the next few days.

We strongly condemn these acts of criminality and terrorism and offer our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the communities and the entire State.The incessant attacks on our citizens and in particular, farming communities have gone beyond worrisome and resolute actions must be taken by the PDP-led administration to arrest the situation, have the perpetrators punished and ensure that these communities are properly restored to a sense of normalcy.

The safety of every resident of Enugu must be the priority and in these trying times, we call on everyone to maintain a spirit of compassion and unity.

God bless Enugu State.
