The Senator Ayogu Eze Governorship Campaign Organisation has again raised fresh alarm over what it called desperate attempts to hire thugs to demonstrate against its candidate’s insistence on open primaries by some elements in Enugu State.
The organisation claimed that the move is being orchestrated by people bent on stopping the senator from presenting himself for the PDP governorship primaries in the state on November 29, 2014.
Insisting that nobody can intimidate its candidate from partaking in the election, the organisation, in a statement, alleged that ‘’these hirlings have been paid some money to demonstrate against Senator Eze’s rejection of the purported endorsement of a consensus candidate.
The statement, which was signed by its legal adviser, Barrister Kingsley Onyeke, claimed that local council chairmen in the Enugu North Senatorial District, which its candidate currently represents in the Senate, are under instruction to mobilise three bus loads of these rented demonstrators to gather at Nsukka to insist on installing an anointed candidate.
Stating that no amount of arm twisting by these elements will force its candidate out of the race, Onyeke praised Sen. Eze for being a courageous and worthy representative who excelled in the job he was sent to Abuja to do.
