If current developments are anything to go by, then party popularity may not entirely determine the eventual winner of the November 6 governorship election of Anambra State.
While the rancorous primaries conducted by the three leading political parties – the All Progressives Congress , the All Progressive Grand Alliance and Peoples Democratic Party have contributed in enriching the profiles of political parties with notable politicians desirous of the number one slot that joined them, the race, as it is, may hugely be determined on the character and ability of individual contestants.
Sources said residents are anxiously awaiting the final list from the Independent National Electoral Commission as there are possibilities of some last minute changes that have not been made public. He, however, congratulated the candidates for accepting alternative platforms and refusing to heat up the polity through court actions by insisting on rewriting the anomalies noticed in the primaries conducted by their original party platforms.
Last Monday however, the Court of Appeal, Abuja had reinstated the Nwobu led executive of the party. Nwobu, who announced the return of his executive at the PDP secretariat in Awka, said the Appeal Court judgment had totally brought to an end the issues about the authentic candidate of the party. Besides, he promised that the executive and party members would work for Ozigbo to ensure his victory and takeover of Government House in Anambra state.
He said Anambra State has always been a PDP state with two senators and almost all the members of the House of Assembly and pledged to meet other aspirants that lost the governorship contest in the June primary election for further support.At the moment, everything seems to be working in favour of former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Soludo and the Victor Oye leadership of the APGA.
