Women of Ebenebe Community in Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra State have protested against the state Governor, Chukwuma Soludo’s sacking of their women leader, Mrs Favour Nworah, for allegedly supporting the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2023 general elections. SaharaReporters gathered that Nworah, who had occupied the position as the community’s Women President General of Ebenebe Town Union Women Wing (ETU WW) since April 2019 was sacked by Governor Soludo in April 2023, a few months after the 2023 general elections.
Anambra Women Protest Against Governor Soludo’s Removal Of Community Leader For Supporting Labour PartySome of the protesters said that the women leader was sacked because she appeared in various photographs with the customised clothes of the Labour Party
Some of the protesters said that the women leader was sacked because she appeared in various photographs with the customised clothes of the Labour Party, attending political events and posing with Obi, the LP Awka North House of Assembly candidate, Mr Ferdinand Onwuje and other Labour Party members. Nworah however noted that she remains an APGA member and that she worked for APGA and Soludo during the 2021 governorship elections in the state. She added that"I couldn't sleep because I know what I did for APGA and Soludo. I used my money, my products, my strength and time for my party APGA to make sure Soludo won. I visited all the wards in Awka north to make sure women's votes count.
Okonkwo said, “Anambra State government has appointed an Interim Executive led by Mrs Josephine Okafor to lead Ebenebe Town Union Women Wing. I don't have the power to do it or question the government for taking such steps.
