CNPP Decries Attacks On Elected Political Leaders In C’River

The Conference of Nigeran Political Parties, CNPP, has condemned attacks on elected political leaders in Cross River State.

In a statement titled ‘CNPP Condemns unwarranted attack on Rt. Hon. Legor Idagbo’, signed by the state  Chairman of CNPP, High Chief Christopher Eyibio in Calabar on Monday, the parties said, “The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) views with great concern the unwarranted attacks on some leaders representing the state at different levels. It is sad that these attacksare politically motivated, hence the sponsors of these attacking dogs have a motive which is not far from the 2023 general elections.”

CNPP also said the recent onslaught on the person Of Rt. Hon. Legor Idagbo (member representing Bekwarra, Obudu, Obanliku Federal Constituency) demands anurgent response. 

The parties said, “While we are not Hon. Legor’s media team, as concerned leaders of political parties, we deem it necessary to caution that our continuous debasement of our leaders by sponsored agents is capable of orchestrating crises in the state. 

“As leaders of political parties, we have paid the price and sacrificed our time resources, comfort to preach peace. 

“This is why almost all our elections were crises free. Integrity is not built in a day. If we continue to pull down all our leaders because they are not willing to settle us, we will indirectly destroy the state.

“We pride ourselves as a people who are united. We are known to be hardworking and honest. Why must we suddenly allow our political differences to destroy the State?”
