Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said that next weekend Anambra State governorship election provides an opportunity for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under the leadership of Prof Joash Amupitan, SAN, to prove to the world that it has turned a new page.
Atiku also said that the election would also show that the integrity of the nation’s election would not be sacrificed for the satisfaction of the ruling party.
He noted that next weekend is one in the number of off cycle elections according to the country’s election timetable, emphasising that rather than being like any other, the election to elect the next governor of Anambra State on November 8, offers a unique opportunity to end the era of poor governance in the state in addition to ensuring that the ruling All Progressive Congress does not get the chance of practicing its notoriety of snatching and running away with the mandate of the people.
He said; “The election next weekend calls our consciousness to a moment when we must rally round the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Nwosu Chima John and Nwobu Geoffrey Ndubisi to lead Anambra State to a new era of prosperity and economic stability.
“It is therefore important that every registered voter in Anambra not only determines to vote, but must mobilize huge support for the candidate of the ADC.
“Anambra is a place with so much good history about our great country. I believe that yet again, Ndi Anambra will open the chapter of a new beginning in Nigeria where the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would bring lasting prosperity, peace and stability to our country,” Atiku said.
