The Anambra State branch of Association of Local Governments Of Nigeria ALGON, has warned against plots to instigate fresh political crisis in the State.
The body also described what it called Campaign of calumny against the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA, by the opposition Labour Party (LP) People Democratic Party (PDP) and the Young Progressive Party (YPP) ahead of the State Assembly election, saying that it is a show of negative desperation.
Rising from a meeting in Awka, over the weekend, those who spoke at the meeting, noted that the Association would not allow the forthcoming State Assembly election to be used to distract the government of Prof Chukwuma Soludo, adding that the entire twenty one local government areas in the state would vote massively for APGA.
According to the Chairman of Onitsha South local government area Chief Emeka Orji, “There is no gain saying the fact that Anambra is an APGA state and for a state that has produced three governors that had two tenures of eight years each one wonders how a political party that just emerged by per chance attempt defeat APGA in an election that is the party’s election.
“For us in Onitsha South local government area it is 17/17 and thirty over thirty and that means that we are not losing any single electoral ward to any party because it is APGA all the way” he said.
On his part, the Chairman Ihiala local government area Hon Kingsley Obi who spoke through his Media Assistant Mr Elvis Okoli , it is not about having wishful thinking about something that is not realizable at this point ”
“The people of Ihiala local government area have spoken and it is APGA and we cannot forget the fight Soludo gave to the hoodlums that had held Ihiala local government area at the jugglers and how this administration has been able to ensure that the people of Ihiala came out to vote in the last general election ”
“We also have massive road construction that is already going on in the council area through the instrumentality of the Soludo led administration and also how he has been able to sanitize the Transportation sector and reduced the negative activities of the touts and revenue thieves ”
“So those who feel that because of that chance they took following the feelings of the Nigerian youths they would win a party that has its firm root in Anambra state should have a rethink and appreciate the fact that even their Presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi is a product of APGA and without APGA he couldn’t have started on a sound footing in politics. ”
“Some people have a negative design to cause trouble and make Anambra state ungovernable by trying to impose their errand boys on the state Assembly in order to distract the administration of Soludo and we wish to state that Anambra people would resist it on the day of election by voting only APGA candidates” Okoli concluded.
