ICYMI: National Assembly should consider independent candidacy, says Etiaba | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
Action Alliance candidate for the November 6 governorship poll in Anambra State, Chief Ben Etiaba, has said undue emphasis on money and lack of transparency in most political parties make it imperative that the National Assembly consider independent candidacy.
“My ambition is to serve my people. My ambition is not to be a politician. If it was possible to be governor without going through election, that is what I will do. If it was possible to run as an independent candidate without belonging to a political party, that is what I will do,” he said.
The governorship hopeful said it was ironical that in spite of the many wealthy persons in Anambra State, the state remains broken with insecurity and filth. According to him, it was a shame that a state with a relatively small landmass like Anambra could not be tops on environmental sanitation and security.
He said the easiest task for him is to entrench AA in all the 177 towns and 21 local government areas of the state, pointing out that his emergence is a product of Coalition of the Willing, which consists of embittered former members of APC, APGA and Peoples Democratic Party .
