The Peoples Democratic Party Youth Leader in Ebonyi State, Francis Okechukwu, has condemned Governor Francis Nwifuru’s threat to sack the newly elected chairmen of local government areas in the state.
According to the PDP youth leader, Nwifuru’s statement was not only undemocratic but also signalled a mockery of the constitutional foundations that established local government areas across the federation.
Nwifuru, while inaugurating the newly elected chairmen on Wednesday, said, “If you don’t deliver your local government area for APC during the elections, you will be removed.”
Speaking to journalists on Sunday in Abakaliki, the PDP chieftain condemned the governor’s perceived high-handedness, saying he was quick to forget the non-violent processes that brought him to power.
