He said, “I wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms the unprovoked, barbaric, uncivilized behaviour of the Ebonyi State Governor for mobilizing the police to disrupt a peaceful assembly of our party supporters in his state.

 

“The action of the Governor is not only uncivilized, but it is also a rap£ of the constitutional rights of citizens to peaceful association and assembly.

 

“This is setting a dangerous precedence for the 2023 general elections. The APC which has failed Nigerians in all indices of governance from security, the economy and welfare of citizens, healthcare delivery and the provision of basic amenities is engaged in a shameful and condemnable attempt to muscle citizens from peacefully exercising their constitutional right of peaceful assembly unleashed the police on them.
