Enugu PDP distances itself from protest against APC N1.3bn fraud
The Enugu State People's Democratic Party has distanced itself from a protest on Monday by aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress against APC President Ugochukwu Agballah and his gubernatorial candidate (APC), Uche Nnaji, over their alleged involvement in a N1.3 billion fraud.
The PDP said it would not have bothered to speak about what should have been an APC matter had it not been for the allegation against the party and its gubernatorial candidate , Peter Mbah, to sponsor the event.
He called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission "to intervene to investigate the weighty allegations boldly made by well-known leaders of the APC party against the duo of Chief Ugo Agballah and Chief Uche Nnaji", a report by The Sun says.
Communications director and spokesperson for the Enugu State PDP Campaign Council, Nana Ogbodo, noted that this was not a fight between the PDP and the APC, but "downright a fight between angry and destitute APC members and a greedy and conceited leadership of the party", while addressing reporters during a press conference held at the headquarters of the Peter Mbah campaign, Independent Layout, Enugu, Tuesday.
Ogodo said protesters who stormed the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Monday alleged that party chairman Agballah and gubernatorial candidate Nnaji were involved in a 1.3 billion naira fraud in the state, with their leader and chairman, the concerned APC members from Enugu State, Adolphus Ude, telling reporters that they were at the secretariat for expressed their anger about it and asked the party's national leadership to tackle it, according to Le Soleil.
Reacting to the APC accusation that the PDP sponsored the protest, Ogbodo said, "We have, as usual, been dragged into a purely APC affair by the talkative Ugochukwu Agballah, who claimed the protesters were sponsored by the PDP. Of course, Agballah's penchant for looking for scapegoats rather than confronting his demons is legendary.
“Normally, the Enugu State PDP should not be dealing with the avowed fraud, embezzlement and impunity taking place in the APC chapter of Enugu State except to say that they have exposed the world more that they have no good intentions for Enugu State.
“Furthermore, the APC has never been a factor in the elections in Enugu State, let alone now that all the main APC stakeholders in Enugu have abandoned the party to Ugochukwu Agballah and his sponsors.
"If the APC was at the ICU before its controversial emergence as state president, the party has now been effectively embalmed and sent to the morgue by the totalitarian, greedy and corrupted of Agballah and his two godfathers.”
