The governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Anambra State, Comrade Tony Nwoye, on Tuesday said his party would not participate in Saturday’s supplementary election in some local government areas in the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) despite the public outcry that trailed the November 16 election had insisted that there would be supplementary election in the state.
But the All Progressives Congress, the Labour Party and the PDP had all pulled out of Saturday’s election, leaving the All Progressives Grand Alliance as the sole party for the poll.
Briefing reporters on Tuesday in Awka, the Tony Nwoye Campaign Organisation led by its Director General, Mr. Victor Ezenwa, said the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, is on his own on the proposed election.
Ezenwa said, “Our candidate, Comrade Tony Nwoye has said it over and over again that he will not be part of Saturday’s supplementary and if PDP participates in the election, it means giving credibility to illegal act.
“Metuh ought to realize the circumference of his office, he cannot continue putting words into the mouth of the PDP candidate in the state.
“The position of our party is that we are not going to be part of the election, Metuh is on his own, what he is doing is at variance to the views of the majority of the people of Anambra State.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
