That is untrue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Since he didn&#8217;t order any, the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State is undoubtedly unaware of any interruption of any meeting. He is a Democrat who is adamant about upholding the law. He wishes every candidate for office the best of luck and will demand that everyone play on an even playing field. If it is true that the police scattered people, they will undoubtedly have to answer for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For the sake of the record, the relevant government agencies had given their consent for the Labour party to hold a rally in the stadium in the Abakaliki Township, provided that certain fees were paid. It was learned that the organizers decided not to pay the fines and instead descended upon the streets, putting the helpless locals going about their daily business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe police, we are told, had to step in to restore law and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Governor appeals to all citizens to always abide by the dictates of the law and decent living so that law and order will always reign supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the statement, &#8220;He wishes all political parties and their candidates well and enjoins all to play the game by the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi admitted he never gave the go-ahead for a rally of Peter Obi&#8217;s Labour Party supporters to be disrupted.
