Gov Obiano urges Ndi Anambra To always chose APGA
1. It has come to
the knowledge of the Anambra State Government that a fast growing number of
political parties and their candidates participating in the 2019 general
election boldly claim that Governor Willie Obiano has endorsed them. To make
the claim look authentic, many have published in their campaign posters, fliers
and banners their pictures with Governor Obiano. Many of the photographs were
taken with the governor at public functions, churches, etc, often without the
governor knowing about them.
2. Some of these
parties and their candidates pledge to Ndi Anambra that once they win, they
will publicly declare support to Gov Obiano and join or rejoin the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), as the case may be.
3. Some of the
candidates have even forged statements purportedly made by the Anambra State
Commissioner for information & Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba,
supporting their candidatures. The statements often appear in poorly written
English.
4. The Anambra
State Government wishes to state categorically that the claims by the parties
and politicians are false, misleading and disingenuous. Governor Obiano
endorses only APGA candidates in the forthcoming election. As the APGA National
Leader and Chairman of the APGA Board of Trustees, he cannot endorse candidates
contesting on the platforms of other political parties.
5. All Ndi
Anambra should, therefore, disregard the claim by the politicians that Chief
Obiano has endorsed them when they are not APGA candidates. These politicians
want to use Chief Obiano’s immense popularity to hoodwink Anambra State voters
and make them vote for candidates other than those of APGA.
6. Though the
overwhelming majority of our people are too discerning and sophisticated to fall
prey to this trick, it is important to bring to the fore the grand design by
people seeking public office by all means to cajole Ndi Anambra. This trick is
nothing less than “419” because the perpetrators want to obtain power through
false pretense.
7. For the
umpteenth time, the good people of Anambra State are encouraged to vote only
APGA, so that the ongoing excellent work in various facets of our existence
will continue.
8. Anambra State
has now become about the most competitive state in Nigeria and the most
peaceful and stable in the country. Ndi Anambra will not tolerate anything
which can disrupt the present development trajectory.
God bless Anambra State, the Light of the Nation.
C. Don Adinuba,
Commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment.
