Fresh controversy has erupted in Enugu State following disturbing reports that public school teachers are allegedly being pressured to participate in the APC electronic registration exercise using their personal National Identification Numbers (NIN) and those of their family members.
According to sources within the state’s education sector, teachers were reportedly warned to comply with the directive or risk facing serious consequences, including possible loss of their jobs. The alleged instruction has sparked fear, confusion, and outrage among affected educators, many of whom now find themselves caught between protecting their livelihoods and maintaining their personal and political independence.
Several teachers, who spoke anonymously, described the situation as intimidation and an abuse of power. They claimed they were being forced into a political process against their will, raising serious questions about the misuse of authority and violation of fundamental rights.
Observers and civil society voices have also begun raising concerns over the alleged development, stressing that public servants should not be compelled to disclose sensitive personal data or be coerced into partisan activities. Legal experts warn that such actions, if proven true, could undermine democratic principles and infringe on citizens’ freedom of association and privacy.
As the reports continue to spread, many Nigerians are calling for transparency and accountability. Citizens and advocacy groups are urging the Enugu State Government to address the allegations and clarify its position, while emphasizing that public institutions must remain neutral and protect the rights of workers.
At the time of this report, there has been no official statement from the Enugu State Government to confirm or deny the allegations. However, the situation has already ignited debate across political and social circles, with many watching closely to see how the matter unfolds.
