The PDP stated it would not have commented on what should have been an APC matter if not for the allegation that the party and its governorship candidate, Peter Mbah, sponsored the demonstration.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission should probe "the substantial claims brazenly made by well-known APC party leaders against the duo of Chief Ugo Agballah and Chief Uche Nnaji," The Sun said.
At a press conference at the Peter Mbah Campaign Headquarters, Independent Layout, Enugu, on Tuesday, Nana Ogbodo, Director of Communications and Spokesman, Enugu State PDP Campaign Council, said it was "squarely a fight between angry and deprived APC members and a greedy and conceited party leadership."
Ogodo said the protesters who stormed the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Monday alleged that the party chairman, Agballah, and the governorship candidate, Nnaji, were involved in a N1.3 billion fraud in the state. Their leader and chairman, Concerned Members of Enugu State APC, Adolphus Ude, told newsmen that they were at the secretariat to vent their anger over the matter and asked the party's national leadership to investigate, according to The Su.
Ogbodo stated, “We have, as usual, been drawn into a completely APC problem by the loquacious Ugochukwu Agballah, who has alleged that the demonstrators were sponsored by the PDP. Of course, Agballah is known for scapegoating rather than facing his demons.
“Ordinarily, the Enugu State PDP should have no business with the self-confessed fraud, embezzlement, and impunity going on in the Enugu State APC, save to declare that they have further exposed to the world that they have no good intents for Enugu State.
“Besides, the APC has never been a factor in elections in Enugu State, leave alone now that all the important stakeholders in Enugu have abandoned the party to Ugochukwu Agballah and his godfathers.
The authoritarian, greedy, and corrupt leadership of Agballah and his two godfathers has embalmed and consigned the APC to the mortuary.
