The Labour Party (LP) has decried the latest attack on its secretariat in Imo State by thugs the party referred to as “agents of the state government”.

In the early hours of Monday, the Imo State Secretariat of the Labour Party has once more been attacked by the police and thugs allegedly on the directives of the state government.

The state chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Callistus Ihejiagwa, had earlier sent an SOS to the public informing Nigerians to come to the aid of the party which at the time was at the mercy of the attackers who comprised of over a hundred thugs and the accompanying men of the Police Force.

A press statement issued by thr LP national publicity secretary, Obiora Ifoh, narrated the incident thus:

“In a voice mail sent to our party headquarters later, the state chairman of the party said, ‘We have been invaded by the thugs and policemen under the directives of Hope Uzodinma, they have pulled down all our flags, pulled down the banners of Peter Obi, pulled down the banners of our governorship candidate, seized People’s phone, beat people up, and committed all manners of atrocities just now in our office’.

“He said when he confronted them, they said they were under directives by the state government to pull down Peter Obi and Senator Athan’s billboards but particularly that of Obi.

“He said, ‘they were instructed to target Obi’s billboard everywhere in the city. One of the assaulted members of the party is presently hospitalized after the brutality meted at us. We are calling on the whole world to hear our predicament and come to our aid. The government is now hounding every opposition element in the state’.

“Recall that early last week, the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi led a crowd of party faithful and supporters including Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti and Labour Party members of the national assembly to formally inaugurate the governorship campaign of our candidate Senator Athan Achonu. The sea of heads that graced the occasion is believed to have sent a shocking warning of what will happen in the November 11, Governorship election in the state.

“You will also recall that thesame secretariat was attacked in March and as well in April this year by the police in connivance with the state government.

“We are therefore calling on the state government to refrain from using brute force and intimidation against opposition political parties in the state.

“We are also calling on the Inspector General of the Police to caution the government of the state and order the police commissioner in the state to rise to the occasion and check any further intimidation of the Labour party and our members in the state.”
