www.odogwublog.com reports that a youth group in Anambra state under the aegis of Anambra Youth for Change, on Saturday asked the Anambra state governor, Chief Willie Obiano to stop dropping the name of the late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu for the purpose of the November 18 poll in the state, adding that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has been deceiving people with Ojukwu’s name.
It said Ojukwu as an
Igbo avatar should be allowed to rest in
peace, rather than being made an object of electioneering each election period
in the state.
The group called on
the people of the state to vote for the All Progressives Congress in the
November 18 governorship election.
The state coordinator of the group, Hon Curtis Okeke stated this while addressing the press in
Awka, the Anambra State capital.
Okeke, who said the youths in the state were rooting for
Chief George Moghalu of the APC as their choice candidate for the election
enjoined the people of state not to vote for the All Progressive Grand Alliance
in the election.
He said APGA had disappointed the late Igbo leader.
According to him, Ojukwu had a contract with APGA during the
former governor Peter Obi administration to produce the next governor of the
state from Nnewi, Ojukwu’s country home.
Okeke said“But APGA had reneged in that agreement by
foisting Obiano who is from Aguleri in Anambra North senatorial district on the
people of the state.
“With this disappointment, we are calling on the people of
Anambra state not to be hoodwinked by the current APGA campaign in the state
dropping Ojukwu's name.
“We have seen posters and banners from APGA dropping
Ojukwu’s name as part of their campaign for the November 18 poll. Obiano should
allow Ikemba to rest in peace. Obiano should tell us his achievement not
Ojukwu's achievements.
“ APGA has deceived the people of the state with Ojukwu’s
name, Obiano cannot do that again because he did not know Ojukwu and did not do
anything for him.
“Go and visit Ojukwu’s country Nnewi home, there is no
single project from the state government in the area.
“Obiano told us that he would complete and commission all
Peter Obi’s projects, but he did not do that; rather he abandoned such projects
all over the state, particularly in Nnewi, Ojukwu's home.
“They can't deceive
us again. We must ensure that Anambra is hooked to the centre in the election,
Okeke stated.
He called on Chief George Moghalu to take up the challenge
to be the governor of the state to salvage it from what they called
"apparent ruins meted out on the
state by the APGA government in the past 11 years".
