ENUGU — The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Youth Leader in Ebonyi State, Engr. Kalu Francis Okechukwu, has condemned remarks attributed to Governor Francis Nwifuru, describing them as a threat to democratic principles.
Nwifuru had, in a viral video, charged newly inaugurated local government chairmen not to allow opposition parties to win in their respective areas, warning that any chairman who failed to comply would be removed.
The governor was also heard directing the chairmen to “deal with the opposition mercilessly.”
The remarks have continued to generate reactions from political stakeholders and other Nigerians.
