Chiarman AWGU Local Government Area of Enugu State Hon Pedro Nwankwo has reacted to Friday allegations of violence in the just concluded PDP Ward delegate election.
In an exclusive chat with EverydayNewsngr.net the Chairman who was named as one of those involved in the alleged attack on Sentaor Ike Ekweremadu’s supporters denied the allegations.
Pedro who described the exercise as a huge success noted that Ekweremadu is crying wolf because he lost woefully in the election.
He observed that the Senator is the only person out of over 19 PDP guber aspirants in the state who is claiming that there was violence.
Hear him: “People should know when the game is up. After being in government for over 30 years, the man doesn’t realize that the people are tired of him. It is 90 minutes, and game over .
“He has even refused to get the message which was clearly sent to him during the delegates election.
“A man who was local government Chairman in 1997, later became Chief of Staff, then Secretary to the State Government, SSG, before going to the Senate where he spent 20 years.
“The people used the ward 3-man delegates Congress to tell him that ‘enough is enough.’
“Ekweremadu is my brother and I urge him to bow out when the ovation is still high.
“How can he be the only one complaining of violence. Where are the other aspirants? How come he alone saw the violence when other aspirants are commending the exercise.
“I won’t join issues, our leader the Governor is a peaceful man and has urged us to maintain peace and we cannot to be lured or provoked into violence.
“The way he is going about this is even suspicious. This may be a ploy to unleash violence; he must be watched closely. For someone to be claiming an imaginary violence, he might be up to something.”
