In a shocking incident that has left the political landscape in Enugu rattled, Comrade Chika Idoko, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman for Enugu North Senatorial Zone, was reportedly assaulted by Ugo Agballa, the APC State Chairman, and his associates. The brutal attack occurred during a meeting of the State Executive Committee at the APC party office in Enugu.
According to sources, the altercation stemmed from Comrade Chika’s vocal support of the accomplishments of the Honourable Minister of Science and Technology. His endorsement of the minister’s achievements allegedly triggered the violent response, resulting in a shocking display of aggression. This incident highlights a deepening crisis of intolerance and violence, even among party members.
The attack on Comrade Chika Idoko is not just a physical assault; it is a blatant attempt to silence a voice advocating for progress and recognition of positive developments in government. Such acts of brutality within political organizations threaten the very essence of freedom of speech and democratic expression. It sends a dangerous message that speaking out in support of public officials can lead to severe consequences, even within one’s own political party.
