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.”
