NEWS UPDATE: Atiku’s Campaign In Enugu Sends Shocking 'Warning' To Buhari’s Campaign Group
The massive crowd that welcomed the Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in Enugu Friday during his campaign rally may spur the campaign team of All Progressive Congress (APC) to go back to the drawing board.Not just the crowd, public primary and secondary schools in the town were also abruptly shut during the campaign rally, reported NAN.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that students of various public secondary schools were seen going home as early as 10 am.
It was the same situation in other public schools including O’connor Primary School, Queen’s School, Urban Girls Secondary School and Government Training College in Enugu town.
The student however, said they were not mandated to attend the campaign rally holding in Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
Meanwhile, some parents in the state have expressed mixed feelings on the decision to send students home over a political campaign rally.
Mr Francis Ogbu said it was wrong to have suspended academic activities due to an individual’s political aspiration.
Ogbu said that under aged students needed not be dragged into politics.
Mrs Uzoamaka Onukwuburi wondered what may have informed the closure of public schools before the usual time.
Onukwuburi said that she could not understand why politics had degenerated to the level of suspending academic activities due to a campaign rally.
Another parent, Mrs Chinwe Eke commended the decision adding that it was for the safety of the children in case of outbreak of violence during the rally.
Eke however, said that government should have announced the directive early so that the children would stay at home rather than moving up and down.
When contacted for reaction, the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Uche Eze declined comments.
Meanwhile, major roads leading to Nnamdi Azikiwe venue for the rally were cordoned off while traffic was diverted to alternative routes in the coal city. Businesses in the stadium were shut to allow free movement.
The support shown the PDP candidate further shows the dominance of PDP in the South Eastern state, where the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu hails from.
Ekweremadu has been in the Nigerian Senate since 2003, and he’s seen as one of the backbone of Atiku in the Enugu State and the South East ahead of the February 16 Presidential Election.
