Anambra attacks: APC demands Obiano’s immediate resignation

The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has called for Governor Willie Obiano’s immediate resignation over constant kidnapping, cultism, killing of innocent people, destruction and burning of properties including security formations across the state.

The State Chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike, made the call at a stakeholder meeting with all the 326 wards executives, at Marble Ark Hotel Awka, on Thursday night.

Ejidike stated that APC was alarmed over the worsening state of insecurity in Anambra and the escalation of “militarisation of the state.”

According to the Chairman, the governor had demonstrated his inability to protect the lives and property of Ndi-Anambra.

He said, “Obiano should resign over his failure to protect lives and property.

“This has become very necessary in view of the evidence of lack of capacity of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to guarantee safety and security of lives and property of the people.”

He also raised the alarm over the alleged intimidation and harassment of innocent residents, killing of policemen and burning of their police stations.

He said, “Our party, APC, finds it too worrisome that on a daily basis, since this week, innocent civilians and security personnel are killed including the gruesome murder of Dr Chike Akunyili, husband of former NAFDAC boss, Prof. Dora Akunyili, his driver and his security personnel by gunmen.

“To be honest, what we are currently experiencing now in Anambra, is a total collapse of APGA government in the state.

“There is no more government in Anambra State, because, since Monday, this week, gunmen have been intimidating, harassing, burning and killing innocent people without any serious action from the governor to arrest the perpetrators and rebuild residents confidence.

“And that is why, I am appealing to the electorates to vote APC, come November 6, 2021, to help address all challenges confronting the state.”

He noted that the sense of the meeting, organised by the party’s Candidate, Senator Andy Uba, was to reassure the executives and old members that the new decampees from the APGA and PDP will not in any way take over their positions in the party.

Senator Andy Uba, in his brief speech, said conduction of Local Government election will be his first assignment if elected as the next governor of Anambra State.
