Valentine Ozigbo, Special Adviser to former presidential
candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, has said the people of Anambra
State are weary of waiting for the promised ‘Dubai and Taiwan’ by Governor
Charles Soludo.
Ozigbo said that the economy of the State under Soludo has
been crippled, leaving the people to struggle in poverty.
The gubernatorial candidate in 2021 under the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, lamented that the security in the State had become worse
that people can’t even visit home, while those who at home live in constant
fear.
Ozigbo made the statement in a post on his X handle on
Saturday.
He accused Soludo of hastily orchestrating and pressuring
the State House of Assembly into amending the Anambra Electoral Act.
He alleged that the move was designed to facilitate the
governor’s planned rigging and imposition of his loyalists on the people for
his reelection bid.
Ozigbo’s word: “My position on Anambra LGA Elections.
“In his characteristic manner of positioning himself as “the
wisest in the room,” Governor Soludo hastily orchestrated and pressured the
State House of Assembly into amending the Anambra Electoral Act.
“This move is designed to facilitate his planned rigging and
impose his loyalists on Ndi Anambra in his flawed re-election bid.
“While this illegal act is bound to be fruitless, we must
not fall into the trap of boycotting the so-called election. Instead, we will
seize every opportunity to show him that Ndi Anambra is weary of waiting for
the promised Dubai and Taiwan.
“Worse still, we can’t even visit home, and those who at
home live in constant fear! The entire economy of Ndi Anambra has been
crippled, leaving our people to struggle in poverty.
“I have suggested to the leadership of our party and some of
our elected members that we should present candidates to our people who possess
the capacity, character, and compassion to bring about positive and impactful
change at the grassroots level.
“This is without prejudice to the need to challenge some
obnoxious provisions of the amended act that contradict national laws and
common sense.
“The Governor does not deserve another chance, and we will
continue to counter his nefarious schemes at every turn.”
