The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) have intensified battle over the November 6, 2021 governorship election in Anambra State.
The opposition party, PDP, through its state Publicity Secretary,Mr Nnamdi Nwangwu, in Awka on Wednesday asked the ruling APGA government to prepare its detailed handover note ahead of time. But the ruling party quickly responded by describing PDP as ‘noise’ makers.
The state Chairman of APGA, Sir Norbert Obi, however, said that his party would not join issues with PDP – a sinking ship.
Obi further disclosed that APGA was still mourning the death of its state Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Nkwonta.
He urged PDP to resolve all its numerous Court case and other problems before talking of winning elections in Anambra State.
Obi also described APGA as a movement and no longer a political party, adding that when they reach to the bridge, they would know how to cross it.
But Nwangwu insisted that the APGA-controlled government had failed woefully in all ramifications and as such should be preparing the handover to PDP which is ready to give Anambra State a quality, responsible and responsive government.
He said that no amount of distractions would stop Anambra people from showing the “fraudulent government of APGA” the way out and hold them accountable for their actions.
Nwangwu noted that APGA government had touched everything good handed over to it with leprous hands and relegated Anambra State from being the best in Nigeria to a laughing stock.
He recalled: “Anambra State had the best road network in Nigeria; all the towns and communities were effectively linked when the saddle of leadership was handed over to the APGA controlled government. Today, the roads are not maintained and new ones are not constructed.
“Anambra State had the best Primary Health Care Delivery with the highest accredited tertiary institution for health workers training.
“All the senatorial zones had two or three accredited health centres well equipped, let APGA apologists tell us what has happened to the hitherto functional sector.”
