The Enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has berated the Labour Party for fielding a candidate who is standing trial over alleged conspiracy and stealing for the Enugu South State Constituency election in the 2023 general election.
Bright Ngene, who was the candidate of the LP in the said election, which has suffered series of rerun after eight wards were annulled by the court, was last week detained in prison custody by the Magistrate Court for alleged conspiracy and stealing. However, addressing a press briefing at the PDP state secretariat, yesterday, the party’s State Working Committee led by Augustine Nnamani asked LP members to bow their heads in shame for “falsely alleging political witch hunt by the Enugu State government in the trial of Ngene.”
MEANWHILE, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has signed four bills into law, saying they were part of his administration’s effort to make the state number one in Ease of Doing Business and preferred destination for investment, business, tourism and living.
