Pecohub Allegations of political coercion have surfaced in Enugu State following claims that public school teachers are being threatened to complete All Progressives Congress (APC) e-registration forms or risk losing their jobs.
The allegation was first raised by education advocate and tech entrepreneur Alex Onyia, who stated on social media that the Enugu State Government was compelling teachers to provide their National Identification Number (NIN) and those of their family members for APC registration.
“Enugu State government is threatening their teachers to fill in APC e-registration forms with their NIN and that of their family members or risk losing their jobs. I think this is unfair to them,” Onyia wrote in a post that has attracted widespread engagement online.
Further fueling the controversy, another social media user, James Mamah, shared an image of what he described as the APC e-registration form allegedly distributed to teachers in Enugu East Local Government Area.
The form requests personal details including full name, NIN, voter identification number (VIN), ward, and LGA.
“My mum got one,” Mamah wrote, expressing concern over what he described as the politicisation of public service employment.
The claims have sparked public debate over alleged abuse of power, data privacy concerns, and the constitutional rights of civil servants to political neutrality.
The allegations also draw attention to the administration of Peter Mbah, with commentators questioning whether state institutions are being used to advance partisan interests.
As of the time of filing this report, the Enugu State Government has not issued an official statement addressing the allegations. The All Progressives Congress has also not commented on the authenticity of the forms circulating online.
