Okey Ezez wherein he was describing the March 11 governorship election as a do or die affair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe find it so awkward that Ezea\u2019s first public utterance as a Senator-elect is to call on the youths to go and engage in violence. This is totally unacceptable and should be resisted by every Enugu youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe youths must say no to politicians who would want to use them to cause mayhem in Enugu State. We should not forget that it is very dangerous to throw stones into a marketplace, you never can tell who will be the victim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe warn Okey Ezea to stop instigating violence in Enugu State that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has made peaceful since the inception of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on him to immediately withdraw that divisive and inciting statement without further delay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should also serve as a serious warning to other politicians who may want to toe this path. The youths will not take it lightly with such a person. We shall employ all legal means to bring such a person to justice,\u201d Okwu warned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
