2015: Anambra Shuts Down Markets For Jonathan by ruggedboy01: 7:12am On Aug 31, 2014 |
2015: Anambra shuts down markets for Jonathan 2 BY EMMANUEL UZOR, ONITSHA ON AUGUST 31, 2014 · NATIONAL Anambra State government yesterday shut down all the 66 major markets across the state as part of activities marking the ceremony organized by the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA to persuade President Goodluck Jonathan to seek re-election in the 2015 general election. Sunday Sun gathered that all major markets including road side ones were shut down yesterday, as traders were urged to remain in their houses or come out enmass to participate in the mega rally held at the Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka. From the Main market, Ochanja, Mgbuka, Ose- Okwodu, New Parts and Building materials markets to all other major markets in Nnewi and Awka cities, shops were put under lock and key as roads were all deserted. However, only few persons were seen on the roads in the commercial city of Onitsha wearing uniforms with different inscriptions and photograph of Mr. President, and other insignia belonging to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA. Speaking on the development, the Chairman of the Anambra State Amalgamated Traders’ Association, AMATAS, Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo said the markets were shut by the union to allow the traders participate in the rally to urge the President to present himself for re- election. Chief Ezenwankwo said the idea was to give the traders sense of belonging to take active part in making necessary critical decisions when it mattered most, especially as it regards the future of the nation. “We shut down all the 66 major markets in the state so that traders will join our Governor, Chief Willie Obiano in urging President Goodluck Jonathan to please present himself and seek a re-election come 2015 general election to continue with the transformation agenda he has started. “Traders are unified in the sense that Mr. President has done well and irrespective of our various political affiliations, the traders decided to be part of this critical event to persuade the President to accept the call from Nigerians to continue his good works,” he said. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=79563
