<\/p>\nThe party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan on Friday in Abuja, also called the police to beef up security around the governor and his family members.<\/p>\n
Ologbondiyan said that the National Working Committee of the party decried the invasion by security operatives, describing it as felonious and violation of the constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a direct attack on our democratic order and vicious violation of the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which cannot be justified under any guise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP holds that the development is a provocative assault on the sensibility, integrity and constitutional freedom of not only the people of Ebonyi, but also of the Governors\u2019 Forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is also an assault on millions of PDP members and supporters across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur party notes that the invasion has the same pattern of an earlier attack on the residence of Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt leaves no one in doubt of a deliberate assault targeted at outspoken opposition leaders, including PDP governors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
