Ebonyi indigenes condemn threats against opposition, back PDP

The Association of Ebonyi Indigenes Socio-Cultural in the Diaspora (AEISCID) has strongly condemned what it describes as escalating threats and violence directed at opposition figures and parties within Ebonyi state. The diaspora group issued a statement calling for national intervention to curb the alleged political intimidation.

AEISCID's President, Ambassador Paschal Oluchukwu, specifically appealed to President Bola Tinubu to address the situation. The association urged the President to call his party's loyalists in Ebonyi to order, implying that state officials are orchestrating or permitting the alleged acts of coercion and violence against political opponents.

In their statement, the Ebonyi indigenes also declared their backing for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The group's condemnation suggests a pattern of political intolerance and a resort to undemocratic means to suppress dissent or opposition within the state, prompting concern from its citizens living abroad.
