 APC accuse APGA of Harassment and Intimidation in Ekwusigo. APGA publicity secretary dismisses allegations.


The Anambra South senatorial by-election, held to fill the seat of the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, was marred by violence on Saturday.

The incident sparked protests from youths, who accused the APGA-led government of harassment and intimidation. Former Anambra Speaker, Hon Rita Maduagwu, also alleged that APGA operatives invaded her ward to disrupt voting.


The situation escalated across several polling units in Nnewi and Ekwusigo, forcing security operatives to intervene. While APC leaders claimed their members were being targeted, APGA’s National Publicity Secretary, Ejiomofor Opara, dismissed the allegations, insisting that “APC members were just claiming violence and arrests.
