The Ebonyi state electorate has been reminded that the future of the state lies in the conscientious manner they choose their leaders in the forthcoming general elections.

The directorate of volunteers, Non Governmental Organisations and support groups of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial campaign council gave the indication on in Abakaliki while briefing newsmen.

The directorate through its Director, Prince Darlington Onwe, urged the electorate to vote massively for the PDP to accelerate economic development and industrialisation of the state.

"This will enable the citizens enjoy improved infrastructural development, genuine empowerment programmes, institutional reforms, adequate security among others.

"We further enjoin voters to shun all forms of intimidation, villification and suppression and exercise their voting franchise'.

He noted that PDP's Gubernatorial Candidate, Dr Ifeanyi Odii enjoys wide acceptance of the people and represents the fresh air about to be experienced in the state.

"He has been ordained by God to make Ebonyi, the preferred investment destination with opportunities of growth and development.

"He will also improve livelihoods and build capacities for people to maximise in full, their developmental potentials,".

Onwe urged the police, state security service among other security agencies, to investigate and consequently check the incessant attacks on the opposition in the state.

"The convoy of Prof. Bernard Odoh, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Gubernatorial Candidate was attacked by heavily armed men on Feb.2.

"His driver was reportedly killed, several persons on the convoy susutained wounded while security vehicles were burnt.

"This action is highly condenmable and reprensents the height of cruelty,".

He called for investigations into the alleged involvement of the Ebubeagu security outfit in attacking and hounding members of the opposition in the state, noting that such negated democratic principles.

"This development is highly worrisome and if nothing is done, might result to anarchy in the state.

"Responsibility is laid on every living thing to survive and such entails self protection against harm," he said.

The Security Consultant to the state Government, Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha had absolved the Ebubeagu security outfit of complicity in politically related attacks in the state.
