The President of Amalgamated Markets Traders Association Anambra State (AMATAS) Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo has said that all the markets leaders and traders have been mobilizing support for Governor Willie Obiano second term as the most traders’ friendly governor in November 18 election.
He vowed to resist any attempt by any person or group of persons to rig the forthcoming governorship election in the state, saying that they were very optimistic that the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) would not allow anybody to try such as a matter of credibility.
Ezenwankwo while speaking with our correspondent in his office said apart from rigging, the incumbent Governor Willie Obiano has the chances of cruising into victory at the polls due his numerous achievements ranging from agriculture, security, infrastructure development, payment of workers salaries, N20 community projects, N10 million for markets projects among others.
He maintained that the election would eventually end up as a one-strike victory for APGA which will guarantee Obiano’s second tenure aim.
According to him, “Nobody can rig election in Anambra state and it can’t even be tried because there would be no lapses to create an avenue for rigging and besides, anybody who wants to govern the state should test his or her popularity through the ballot boxes and not by rigging”.
He stated that he had not yet seen any strong opposition to Obiano from other political parties so far because Obiano had done well in office in all its ramifications to the extent that he had provided enabling environment for the people, as a primary assignment for any responsible government, which now endeared him to the traders.
He insisted that what Obiano had done to the traders was so unprecendented that they had concluded arrangements to vote for him massively.
