Mr John Nwobodo, governorship candidate of Accord Party<\/a> in Enugu State has called for political tolerance in the state ahead of the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

Nwobodo told our correspondent on Tuesday in Enugu that the destruction of banners and posters of opposition political parties in the state left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical intolerance is brewing in Enugu State. I have heard that the flex banner signboard of Accord Party in Nara Ward II, Enugu East Local Government Area was pulled down by some gun-toting men.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese gunmen are working for certain political interests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey may be garbed as unknown, but\u00a0they are not strangers; they are our own brothers. It is a serious act of cowardice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese acts are condemnable. As politicians, we must avoid violence at all costs and imbibe political tolerance,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Nwobodo admonished politicians to play by the rules, noting that the era of thuggery in pursuit of elective positions in the state was over.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you explain the fact that some people went to Enugu East at night and started shooting and destroying banners and billboards belonging to the opposition?<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is crude political strategy. This is democracy and people should be allowed to make their choices,\u2019\u2019 Nwobodo stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
