Ebonyi State Governor, Chief David Umahi has threatened to arrest any stakeholder that would conduct a parallel exercise, as his party, the All Progressive Congress, APC, holds ward congress today, Saturday.
Umahi equally vowed to send to prison any stakeholder that caused a crisis or breached peace in the state, especially during the APC Congresses.
The governor made this known while addressing party leaders/stakeholders of the state during the emergency APC meeting that took place at the ecumenical centre, Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi state.
TrackNews Online gathered that the majority of party leaders of APC agreed on a consensus candidate, while others in seven LGAs of the state failed to agree and had allegedly resulted in a crisis.
It was gathered that party leaders in Ikwo, Ishielu, Ezza north, Ohaukwu, Ebonyi, Ohaozara and Ivo local government areas disagreed on consensus and called for the governor’s intervention.
According to the governor, “Mobilization even when there is consensus is very important, if the people were not satisfied with the mobilization we cancel it, because we want the world to know that this is the home of APC.
