Steer clear of Ekwunife mandate, Group warns Obiano

www.odogwublog.com reports that a group under the aegis of Aggrieved

Councilors Forum, ACF, has cautioned the Governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano against his alleged continued moves to scuttle the mandate given to the Senator elect for Anambra Central senatorial zone, Mrs. Uche Ekwunife.

The Director General of Aggrieved Councilors Forum, Chief Chuks Anaje warned the governor that further actions aimed at thwarting the mandate the people of Anambra central senatorial zone massively and overwhelmingly gave to Ekwunife on the 28^th March National Assembly election could be taken seriously by the group.

He said the group is made up of all the aggrieved councilors who participated in the last local government and councillorship election in the state on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA and were shortchanged by the leadership of the party, adding that they have vowed to make sure that nobody will thwart the mandate given to Ekwunife.

Chief Anaje further lamented that despite the money and other resources they wasted during the last chairmanship and councillorship election, they were allegedly defrauded by the leadership of the party and said their decision to support Mrs. Ekwunife was in the interest of the people of the zone and Anambra state in general.

‘It is on this note that we call on Governor Willie Obianio to steer clear off the mandate given to Mrs. Ekwunife by the electorate since he could not stop her from running for the position. As members of APGA and stakeholders in Anambra project, we knew how the leadership of the party under Chief Victor Umeh stopped Ekwunife from going back to the House of Representatives and how God through His help elevated the woman to greater position. We therefore warn against further efforts as being made by the state government to thwart the mandate”

“Our call on the Governor is born out of love we have for him but we shall transfer the hatred we have for Victor Umeh to him if he refuses to remove his hand from the divine mandate God gave to Ekwunife through the good people of Anambra central senatorial zone. He should also see himself as somebody occupying a transitory position and if he refused to allow another person enjoy her mandate, God will also thwart his own position”.
