With the election by the door steps in Nigeria, a lot of things has been happening.

There have been reports of several illegalities, from spreading of falsehood to clear intimidations, from slanderous allusion to outright threats, by those seeking an upperhand.

In the same vein, a campaign group, Ikeoha Campaign Organisation, rooting for Sen. Ike Ekweremadu says its supporters have been facing intimidation and persecution in Enugu.

The allegations of intimidation has been made by the Director-General of the group, Chief Charles Asogwa.

The Eagle reports that Chief Asogwa stated this in Enugu Friday while briefing newsmen on the controversy that trailed the delegates’ congress of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Chief Asogwa was giving reference to the April 30 ward congress of the PDP for the gubernatorial elections, but which accounts say was marred by violence.

Part of the allegations was that machetes were used at the election, with people sustaining injuries and or losing personal possessions.

Oduma Ward 4, Ugbaike Enugu Ezike, Awgu Ward 2 and Agba Umanna Ward in Aninri, Igboeze North, Awgu and Ezeagu Local Government Areas particularly were said to have been worse hit, and to Asogwa, it is the resurgence of political violence.

“Our principal and governorship aspirant has severally called on the national and state leaderships of the PDP to ensure a transparent process so that whoever emerges will be embraced by all.

“That way, the PDP will go into the 2023 general elections as one big family,” he said.

“Political banditry remains an ill wind. Those who support this evil or have decided to look away at this time, should remember that what goes around will always come around.

“We, therefore, call on security agencies to fish out and prosecute all perpetrators of violence in Enugu State.
