The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP South-East Zonal Working Committee has called on the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services, DSS, the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies to investigate the conduct of security agencies in the region, particularly the Commissioner of Police in Ebonyi State.
The demand was contained in a statement issued by the National Vice Chairman, South-East Zone, Mike Ahumibe.
The opposition party accused the Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police of failing to act proactively despite what it described as several petitions by opposition parties, saying his conduct left much to be desired of a professional police officer.
“The committee seriously implores the office of the National Security Adviser, Director of the Department of State Services, all security agencies and indeed the Inspector-General of Police to show a special interest in the activities of our security agencies in the South-East and conduct a check on the Commissioner of Police in Ebonyi State.”
The party added that, “The committee concluded that our party’s chances in the 2027 elections can be described as a ‘low hanging fruit’ that only requires a strategic stretching out of hands,” it said.
According to the PDP, opposition parties should be allowed to test their popularity before voters without intimidation, manipulation or interference.
It also hailed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for what it described as his dynamic leadership and contributions to the PDP.
