A statement signed by the party’s Chairman, Augustine Nnamani said it would ordinarily have wished not to join issues with the opposition APC in the state, over series of what he described as mischievous allegations against the PDP in the state.
The statement maintained that that accusation by the APC is capable of undermining the enviable style of governance in the state, anchored on peace, good governance, decency, credibility and respect for all institutions.
Excerpt of the statement:
“The PDP did not and certainly will not prevent any other political party in the state from mounting its billboard in any approved location”.
“The PDP-led state government has already mounted billboards in strategic locations, welcoming the Vice President , His Excellency, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to Enugu State on Friday, November 23, in line with our standing tradition of according respect each time the President or his Vice visits the state, which they always appreciate”.

“Such act of hospitality and the demand of protocol from the PDP government in Enugu State should not been seen by the state chapter of the APC as an opportunity to misrepresent issues and lie against the PDP”.
“Contrary to the allegation, it was the APC that has been destroying PDP billboards in the state despite the fact that an advocacy group,Youth Coalition for Good Governance, had recently raised the alarm in the media over such plans by members of the major opposition political party in the state – “to destroy all billboards erected in strategic locations in Enugu by teeming supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led state government”.
