reports that Governor Willie Obiano yesterday threatened to
deal decisively
with anybody seen hijacking the ballot papers from any polling units in the
state , adding that never shall what happened during the National Assembly
elections, repeat itself in the state.
Obiano in a special broadcast this evening insisted that Ndi
Anambra must vote the 30 members of the All progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)
for a sustainable progress or the state would slack.
Obiano said : ’Once again, let me assure you that what
happened in the National Assembly elections will not repeat itself in Anambra
State. I have the assurances of all the Service Commanders in the state and the
Resident Electoral Commissioner that our votes shall count this time. Never
again shall anyone hijack the votes from the polling stations and announce that
losers have won elections in Anambra State.
‘’Never again shall we allow anyone, no matter how highly
connected, to march into our villages and communities with an Armoured
Personnel Carrier as if Anambra State is at war! Never again shall we allow our
respected citizens to be beaten up by brigands and political thugs in a raw
show of power and influence from outside Anambra State!
‘’Ndi b’anyi, the coming House of Assembly Election offers
us a chance to sustain all these positive developments in Anambra State. The
only way we can maintain our progressive march to greatness is to vote all
candidates seeking election on the platform of APGA. At this stage in our
progress, Anambra State cannot afford the distractions of a divided house. We
must secure our future with our votes. We must vote for all the 30 APGA
candidates and give Anambra State a chance to experience real and sustainable
progress.
‘’Once again, let me assure you that what happened in the
National Assembly elections will not repeat itself in Anambra State. I have the
assurances of all the Service Commanders in the state and the Resident
Electoral Commissioner that our votes shall count this time. Never again shall
anyone hijack the votes from the polling stations and announce that losers have
won elections in Anambra State.
‘’Never again shall we allow anyone, no matter how highly
connected, to march into our villages and communities with an Armoured
Personnel Carrier as if Anambra State is at war! Never again shall we allow our
respected citizens to be beaten up by brigands and political thugs in a raw
show of power and influence from outside Anambra State!
Obiano who is the BOT Chairman of APGA appealed for
political re-alignment with APGA: ‘’Fellow Nigerians, may I at this juncture,
call on our brothers in the South East and our cousins in the South-South and
all Nigerians who believe in the unity of this country to take advantage of the
on-going political re-alignment in the country and come over to APGA. We are
ready to absorb our brothers and sisters from every part of the country and
build broad coalitions that will give Nigeria the best possible democratic
alternative ever.
He said the Oba Rilwan Akiolu’s call in Lagos signifies a
lot for Ndigbo: The recent “royal rumble” in Lagos State calls for a deep
reflection among Ndigbo. The controversial “royal decree” issued by the Oba of
Lagos is a shocking reminder of the fault-lines that have held our country down
for decades. But it is also a wake-up call on Ndigbo to rally around APGA and
turn it into a powerful political movement in Nigeria. Umu nnem, we must turn
this tragic comment into the clarion call on Ndigbo all across the globe to
join hands and build a prosperous economy in Igbo-land; a place where our
people’s famed ingenuity and enterprise can flourish without let or hindrance.
‘’Fellow Nigerians, since I became the Chairman of Board of
Trustees and the National Leader of our great party, I have spared no efforts
in working to make APGA a national party. As a result of that, APGA is on the
verge of making history as all our gubernatorial candidates stand bright
chances of winning in Abia, Imo, Nasarawa, Ebonyi and Ogun States on Saturday.
I have the assurance of Dr. Alex Otti, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho, Labaran
Maku, Senator Anthony Agbo and Professor Femi Bamgbose that our prospects are
bright in their respective states. Indeed, this is our chance!
‘’As
the National Leader of our great party, I will do everything humanly possible
to ensure that APGA emerges as a strong political force in Nigeria. The basic
philosophy of APGA is derived from the expansive Worldview of our people which
upholds diversity and celebrates plurality as a pre-condition for a peaceful
world.
Saturday election: Obiano battle ready says ‘’You must vote for 30 APGA candidates ‘’
