All
Progressive Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for next month’s election,
Tony Nwoye, has accused the administration of Governor Willie Obiano of
siphoning money belonging to local government councils in the state.
He made the allegation after he was presented to
President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja toady.
Nwoye told State House correspondents that he was
in the race to alleviate poverty if elected.
He also said youths in the state were being
engaged so that they do not heed the election boycott order issued by the
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).
He said: “If elected, Anambra people should
expect a transparent government that would bring all the people to an enviable
height. We want to alleviate poverty.
“Our local government funds are being siphoned
every month since this current administration took over.
“Many key areas like agriculture and others are
paid lip services. I will give them special attention if elected. We are going
to take governance to the grassroots people.”
On the IPOB threat, Nwoye declared: “We are not
afraid of the threat. Our youths are unemployed, people are wailing and crying.
These are the symptoms of what you are seeing now.
“Our people are seeing reasons why there should
be elections. Some of them who may have been brainwashed, we are engaging them
to see reasons why they should allow people to elect people whom thy want to
lead them.”
On his chances of being elected, he said he was
better prepared than the last time he contested the office, expressing the hope
that he would win.
“As you know, I am not God but based on the
parameters and the indices of the Anambra political terrain and based on the
campaigns that we have done so far, I am confident that by God’s grace because
God gives power, that we are going to win,” he said.
On what he is bringing on board is elected, he
stated: “In the last election, I campaigned for only 11 days, I was kept in
court for some time. They accused me of not paying my tax in time.
“But this time around, I have more than two
months to campaign. We have activated our structures, I have met all the
stakeholders. This time around, it is going to be one man, one vote. We are not
going to allow anybody to rig us out. Peoples votes will count.”
Governor of Bauchi state, Mohammed Abubakar, who
led Nwoye to Buhari as the chairman of the APC Anambra State Gubernatorial
Campaign, said the Party was ready for the election having concluded its
reconciliation process over the party’s primaries.
