Tochukwu Ogalagu (T-MAN) for the House of Representatives and Chief Ojimba Chikodili for the Ebonyi North Senatorial seat. This incident occurred at the First Roundabout in Umuebe, Ohaukwu Local Government Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hon. Chukwudi Nwankwo, the chairman of APGA in Ebonyi, condemned the vandalism, attributing it to hoodlums who may feel threatened by the positive changes APGA aims to bring to local politics. He described the act as cowardly, suggesting that only those who lack confidence in their own popularity would resort to such measures. He emphasized that genuine popular support does not require the destruction of others&#8217; campaign materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">APGA members asserted that attacks on their billboards represent an attack on democracy, stating that every political party should have the right to display their advertisements. They urged their supporters to remain calm and resolute, asserting that even as their materials are vandalized, their ideals and vision for the future cannot be undermined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party denounced the actions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as contrary to electoral laws and a violation of democratic principles, which they believe should safeguard everyone&#8217;s freedom to campaign. They called on security agencies to investigate and apprehend those responsible for the vandalism and appealed to community members to assist in identifying the perpetrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, Hon. Nwankwo reassured supporters to stay peaceful and to avoid retaliation, stressing that the vandalism reflects their success and the panic of the opposition. &#8220;No intimidation can thwart APGA,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attempts to reach the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State for a response to the allegations made by their opponents were unsuccessful, as calls to several key officials went unanswered at the time of this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(From OUR POLITICAL DESK, (Abakkaliki) The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Ebonyi State has expressed its dismay over the reported vandalism of its campaign billboard promoting the Liberation Movement 2027, featuring Chief Barr.
