PDP Labels Nwifuru’s Secretariat Land Threat as ‘Undemocratic’ Political Intolerance

A fresh controversy has erupted in Ebonyi State after reports that Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru’s administration may revoke the land housing the PDP state secretariat. Opposition leaders warn this move reflects growing executive intolerance and misplaced governance priorities. In a statement, the Ebonyi PDP accused the government of political intimidation and vendetta at a time when citizens face rising poverty, unemployment and deteriorating public services. The party described the alleged threat as “reckless, dangerous and undemocratic,” citing the Land Use Act’s protections against arbitrary revocation. Critics point to stalled infrastructure projects, classroom decay in public schools and repeated suspensions of senior officials as evidence that the administration is focusing on political battles instead of development. They fear targeting opposition property would deepen perceptions of overreach and undermine democratic participation. The PDP has called on civil society, legal bodies and national party leaders to monitor what it sees as an emerging pattern of executive overreach in Ebonyi State.
