Abia State Government has stopped the Labour Party, not to disrupt academic activities at Ngwa High School, Aba where the party planned to flag off its campaign.
The governorship
candidate of the Labour Party, Alex Otti, has scheduled his campaign to begin
on 10th November 2022, with a rally billed to take place at Ngwa High School
Aba.
The government gave the warning in a letter addressed to the state LP chairman and copied to the State Security Service and the Police command. The letter was signed by the Commissioner for Post Basic Education, Barr. FC Mark, on Tuesday.
The government advised
the LP to immediately consider changing the event venue or seek another
date when school children will not be in school.
The letter reads: “Our
attention has been drawn to the proposed rally of your political party at Ngwa
High School, Osisioma Aba on the 10th of November 2023 by 8am and we wish to
strongly advise you to seek an alternative venue to disrupt of academic
activities in the school.
“As you are aware all
public and private schools in the state, including Ngwa High School in Aba are
currently in session with teaching and learning ongoing. It will be wrong to
set a bad precedent to chase our hard-working children and their teachers in order to hold a political rally that will not only disrupt academic activities but also predispose school property to vandalization.
“We, therefore, wish to
strongly advise that you immediately consider changing the venue of your
planned event or seek another date when school children will not be in school”.
