Onitsha Main Market Protest: Contractor of CCTV Accuses PDP, APC of sponsoring protest

The Onitsha Main Market protest that grounded business activities on Wednesday caused by some traders who rejected the payment of N200 CCTV Security levy earlier agreed by the market leadership and management of Metro Digital Mobile Company for installation of

security cameras in various strategic points in the market has been attributed to political parties reports www.odogwublog.com .

The Metro Digital Mobile company accused some All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters in the market of orchestrating the protest to rubbish the “wonderful” security network of the state governor which the Anambra State Governor, Dr. Willie Obiano has won several accolades across the country for.

Chief Technical Officer, (CTO) Metro Digital Mobile, Mr. James Chinedu in a chat revealed that some sponsored traders who were suspected to be agents of PDP and APC in the market were always in the habit of disagreeing with the majority views of the market leadership with the aim of rubbishing the good work of the state government via-the security achievement of the state governor.

        He observed that the installation of the security system was in sequence of an earlier agreement the company reached with the  Anambra State Government in conjunction with Anambra Markets Traders’ Association(AMATAS)  and leadership of Onitsha Main Market but expressed dismay over the inability of some traders to honour their own part of the agreement.

Chinedu Stated that as a progressive enterprise which has already entered into partnership with the Anambra State Government and the market leadership, no amount of pressure nor intimidation would deter the company from assisting the state government in preventing and dictating  criminal activities in and around Onitsha Main Market.

He warned the aggrieved traders not to drag the company into dirty politics as it was carrying out its own part of the agreement not only as a business enterprise, but as one which holds the security of lives and property of the people in high esteem.
