The Abia State government has placed a ban on the use of School facilities, Stadium and other public places in the state without the consent of the State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.

Ikpeazu made the declaration via a statement signed by state commissioner for information, Eze Chikamnayo. The governor said it’s important for any political party to sort the state government’s permission before using any public facilities in the state for it rallies.

The statement stressed that political parties will have to file an application wishing to use government owned public places, schools and Aba Stadium and they must accept to take
responsibility for any damage sustained as a result of their activities before being allowed to use it.

The full statement reads:

“It has been brought to the notice of Government that some misguided Political Parties are now embarking on the willful Invasion of School Facilities, Stadiums and Valuable Public Premises across the State all in the name of holding rallies and Political Campaigns.

“Whereas, the Abia State Government, as a staunch promoter of participatory democracy and Democratic freedoms will continue to give necessary support to all citizens to exercise their rights, it must be pointed out that the enjoyment of such Constitutional rights must be conducted within the ambits of the law.

“Public Utilities, School Facilities, Stadiums and Valuable Public Premises are properties of the people of Abia State entrusted into the care of Government.

“Therefore, no responsible Government will stand by and watch such Facilities as they are willfully vandalised and degraded by sadistic elements with malicious interests disguising as politicians.

“The unscrupulous acts of these lawless individuals and groups jeopardizes the efforts of Government at all levels to provide succour to our children and citizens for whom those Facilities were established.

“In view of the foregoing, henceforth, in addition to notifying the Security Agencies, the written consent of the Education Secretary of a Local Government and the Executive Chairman of that local Government must be duly sought and obtained before the use of any Primary School Premises.

“Groups and individuals seeking to use any Secondary School should direct their applications and obtain their permit via the Secondary Education Management Board and the relevant Local Government Chairman.

“Similarly, because of the sensitive and expensive nature of the modern turf and equipment recently installed in our Stadiums, the consent of the Abia State Ministry of Sports and the relevant Local Government and State Authorities must be formally sought and obtained.

“Applicants wishing to use the Aba Stadium and others must give adequate guarantee to take responsibility for any damage sustained as a result of their activities before being allowed to use that prestigious Monument.

“This directive has become necessary for the protection of our common good and advancement of decency in our political conduct and takes immediate effect.
