The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Ebonyi State has called on Governor Francis Nwifuru to immediately retract his recent statements against opposition figures in the state, tender an unreserved apology, or resign from office. The party described the Governor’s utterances as inciting and capable of stoking political violence ahead of the 2027 general elections.

| Apologise or Resign, PDP fires at Nwifuru over violent statements |
Speaking during a live radio program on Friday, the PDP Publicity Secretary in Ebonyi State, Darlington Peter-Onwe, charged the Governor to take responsibility for his words, noting that the rhetoric has already triggered a wave of hostility against members of opposition parties and media practitioners in the state. “The Governor should apologise to Ebonyians or resign. He should retract the statement or step down because he has violated the fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy,” Peter-Onwe stated.
“Section 14 of the Constitution explicitly provides that the primary responsibility of government is the protection of lives and property. By making such statements, he is now the one insinuating violence.” Comparing Nwifuru’s response to that of other state executives, Peter-Onwe pointed to neighbouring governance as a standard for leadership accountability.
“Look at what Governor Alex Otti did when there was a disruption in the education sector. He came out openly and apologised, admitting that it shouldn’t have happened. That is the true strength of a leader,” he added.
