In a significant display of civic engagement, members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State gathered for a peaceful road walk in Abakaliki on Friday, expressing their strong opposition to political thuggery. This event, organized by the Concerned Ebonyi Youth for Democracy, served as a platform for party members to call for a shift towards good governance as Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections.

The participants emphasized the detrimental impact of political violence on the democratic process, urging fellow citizens and political leaders alike to prioritize peaceful electoral practices. As political tensions rise in the lead-up to the elections, the PDP members are advocating for a political environment that fosters inclusivity and transparency.

“We must stand against the culture of thuggery that has plagued our political landscape for too long. Our focus should be on electing leaders who are committed to serving the people and not to violence,” stated one of the organizers during the walk. This sentiment resonated among the participants, many of whom carried placards demanding accountability and good governance.

The call for good governance is particularly salient in light of recent electoral cycles marred by violence and intimidation. As the PDP members rally for change, they hope to inspire a new generation of leaders who will prioritize the welfare of the citizens over personal gain.
