People of Amorka in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state have threatened to vote out any governorship candidate to be sponsored by the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the November 2021 poll if the government impose a caretaker leadership in the community.
The community, in a protest to the state government house in Awka, alleged that some stakeholders were sponsoring impeachment and removal of their President General (PG), Prof. Simeon Alosiuwa, to install a caretaker to do their bidding.
Speaking to newsmen, Mr Benjamin Ohibike, said trouble started when some stakeholders from the community including a lawmaker approached the PG and his executive to make the town’s traditional rulership stool rotational but he declined.
According to Ohibike, the president general directed them to appropriate quarters as his office had nothing to do with that, even as his tenure was remaining a year and few months to end, (hence the process might not end before he leaves office).
Also speaking, a cabinet member of Amorka, Chief Chimezie Ohamesi, explained that since Alosiuwa rejected the call for making the community traditional stool rotational, the stakeholders and few appointed members of his executive begun to make the town ungovernable for him through crisis.
Meanwhile, Anaedoonline.ng reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has endorsed 22 deregistered political parties to conduct primaries for the November 6 Anambra State governorship election.
The National Chairman of People for Democratic Change (PDC), Barr Igwe Benjamin, who led the National Chairmen of the 22 political parties to the headquarters of the Commission in Abuja, said that the endorsement of their requests to conduct primaries for the Anambra governorship poll translated to automatic relisting of their parties deregistered by the electoral umpire.
