An Igbo Apex socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Youth wing has condemned the violence that marred the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) meetings in some local government areas in Enugu State.
The party’s meeting in Nsukka and Aninri local government areas reportedly, turned violent, leaving many injured.
In Nsukka, the violence was said to have ensued between members for and against the 5th term bid of Hon. Pat Asadu, representing Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South in the House of Representatives.
In Aninri, the violence was between supporters of the two PDP camps over the 2023 governorship election in the state, which brought about casualties.
In a statement on Sunday in Enugu, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (OYC), Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, described the development as unacceptable.
Okwu said that it was sad that Enugu was returning to the dark days.
He warned that if those behind the mayhem did not retrace their steps, Enugu would soon become a theatre of war.
“What happened in Enugu State on Saturday is most condemnable and unacceptable. We can’t understand that some days to the primary election, Enugu has become a battle field.
“The Coal City has been one of the safest states in Nigeria, but it is gradually losing that status because of the desperation of some politicians”.
