HURIWA in a statement issued by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, said the group’s withdrawal was anchored on the widespread electoral violence recorded before and during the 2023 general elections in the home state of the governor and the Senator-Elect for Ebonyi South Senatorial District in the incoming 10th National Assembly.
The group described as anti-democratic tendencies in open display in Ebonyi and the heightened levels of threats to the lives of political opposition politicians in Ebonyi State, maintaining that the rights of all politicians should be respected irrespective of affiliations. “From detailed information, we can emphatically state that the Ebonyi State Governor must be held accountable for so much of this violence which was unleashed by armed goons operating as state-funded mercenaries and vigilantes.
Adding: “HURIWA said it is on record that Umahi, out of intolerance for political opponents in the state, directed the police and other security agencies to withdraw orderlies and security details from candidates of political parties, directors-general party officials other than the APC.”
