Peoples Democratic, Party, PDP, Enugu State, chapter, has raised an alarm over the machination of unnamed political opponents in the state to embark on campaign of calumny against Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, its governorship candidate.
The PDP said that the plot is the handiwork of the governorship candidate of a major opposition party in the state.
Director, Media and Publicity of PDP Campaign Organization in the state, Chukwudi Achife, claimed that the party had uncovered a plot, which is in the main to circulate false stories through local newspapers and the social media about Ugwuanyi in a desperate bid to smear his image and reputation.
Achife claimed the antics of the opposition candidate behind the purported smear campaign was not surprising since “he is known as a person who has neither conscience nor a defined agenda for the development and eman-cipation of Enugu State.”
The PDP campaign spokesman, however, said the gambit, as in previous occasions, was bound to fail and boomerang.
While warning that PDP would not allow its image and that of its candidates to be smeared through falsehood, he advised the general public to ignore such antics from a politician known for “his crass desperation to occupy the Lion Building by any possible means.”
