Coalition Blasts Enugu APC Over Comments on Ugwuanyi

The attention of Enugu Youths Coalition has been drawn to a statement attributed to the Enugu State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress in
which the state Chairman Mr. Ben Nwoye accused the state governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of violating the nation's Electoral Act over the posting
of his posters in some locations in the city.

We want to educate Mr. Nwoye that Governor Ugwuanyi breached no law as the
said posters do not not have his implicit or explicit consent before it was
pasted in the state.

Besides, the Governor through his party have already dissociated himself
from the activities of the group in a press statement issued by the
Chairman of PDP in the state.

On the issue of early campaign posters which the APC claimed it's only in
Enugu State that such action could take place, the coalition urged Mr.
Nwoye to take a trip to Lagos, Bauchi, Kastina, Kogi, Nasarawa, Yobe among
other APC states to see things for himself before passing such parochial
judgment.

The coalition however backed the group which posted Gov. Ugwuany's posters
in the state saying it is part of the Freedom of Expression guaranteed by
the nation's constitution.

Adding that, the group like the Enugu APC which exercised their freedom of
expression by endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari for re-election next
year even when Mr. President have declared intention to do so; also
exercised their own freedom by urging the governor to seek re-election
through their posters.

While promising to give crushing defeat to APC in the state, the coalition
however advised Enugu APC to always think before it speaks on matters
concerning Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Dr. Edwin Obune,
National Coordinator,
Enugu Youths Coalition.
