Member representing Isiala Ngwa North state constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, of threatening him and destroying his constituency projects over the 2023 general elections.
However, the PDP said it doesn’t want to join issues with the lawmaker, and described him as one who constitutes no electoral threat to the party in the 2023 elections.
Onwusibe, who dumped the PDP for the Labour party where he is contesting for the Isiala Ngwa North / Isiala Ngwa South federal constituency, had in a statement by the Head of media of his campaign team, Okite .I. Okite Esq, also accused the PDP of attacking his Onwusibe’s supporters and threatening to kill him.
“Ginger Onwusibe is now in the opposition Labour Party and goes about his party businesses, meetings, consultations and does his opposition job, fine and good. He proudly tells the people of Isiala Ngwa North and South to go and verify what he has been able to do within three years he was elected into the Abia State House of Assembly and what he keeps doing. His unrivalled infrastructural and human capital development touches on his Constituency and constituents speak volume and have turned-red the eyes of his opponents and traducers of PDP in envy and unscrupulous politicking. Their malice and hatred have become glaring and evident in the way and manner they go about destroying and defacing monumental projects executed by Ginger.
“A visit to Amasaa Ntigha Mini Stadium at Group School, Eziama Ntigha will surely drop your jaws as the PDP in Isiala North and Ntigha went abysmally low in their barbarism as they destroyed the facilities in the yet-to-be-completed mini stadium. They destroyed the water borehole sunk there, removed some spectator’s seats and spilled oil paints on the seats, broke the perimeter metal barriers around the stadium and drove cars (leaving ditches and holes) on the field which has PVC pipes and the water sprinklers thereon and which grasses are still being groomed. They are permanently at quarrels with Ginger Onwusibe’s supporters. They go about tearing Ginger’s billboards and posters wherever they behold same; threatening that they will kill him and that they are always in charge of the police, Army and DSS.“
Reacting to the allegations, Acting Publicity secretary of the Abia PDP, Elder Amah Abraham, explained that the party is more interested in provoking debate, setting agenda on issues around critical points in governance and would not join issues with politicians who want to ride on its back to popularity.
