A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi state, Mr.Okorie Chukwunaobi Okorie has condemned what he termed sinister plots by some leaders of the party in Onicha local government area of the state to factionalized and weaken the party to pave way for the opposition Peoples Democratic party(PDP) to thrive.
Addressing journalists in Abakaliki ,Okorie called on Governor David Umahi and the Acting Chairman of the party in the state, Mr. Stanley Okoroemegha, to urgently intervene and save the party from imminent implosion in the area.
He alleged that some political thugs working on the orders of some prominent leaders of the party in the area have been harrassing and intimidating some old members of the party in their struggle for the control of the party .
Okorie lamented that the thugs on Sunday disrupted a meeting of a non political organization-Ebele And Anyichuks Foundation-which was holding in Isu area of the council.
He noted that the intimidation and harrasment of party members for attending a non political meeting called by members of other political parties could disorganize the party in the area and pave way for opposition to thrive.
Okorie further explained that such action was capable of causing disunity in the party if not urgently checked.
The APC chieftain commended Governor David Umahi for defecting to the APC, stressing that his defection has helped to reconnect Ebonyi and the South East to the mainstream of the nation's politics.
He said "it is with utmost surprise that the attack we witnessed yesterday by some uniformed hoodlums was devastating.
"The leaders of Ebele/Anyi Chuks Foundation peacefully gathered on Sunday the 12th of December, 2020, to deliberate on the best way to roll out her empowerment program of 2020 as has always been done since the past thirteen years.
"The programmes of the foundation owned by the illustrious son of Isuokoma kingdom; Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii(Anyi Chuks) cuts across party lines and has no political attachment .So what is the reason for the attack. I am calling on Governor David Umahi, the security agencies and the Chairman of Onicha local government area,Chief Felix Igboke, to urgently investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators to book"
