The soapbox lull in the November 16, governorship election in Anambra state was enlivened recently with the defection of Chief Godwin Ezeemo from the All Progressives Congress (APC) .to the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), with hordes of his supporters.

Ezeemo, had engaged the APC in a gutsy battle of due process and rectitude when they attempted to impose former governor of the state, Senator Chris Ngige on the party as its candidate. The attempt collapsed on its face when Ezemoo insisted on a proper congress. The repeat congress, however still failed the stiff test of fairness, and equity, which compelled him to search for another platform.

The search ended at the PPA, which since its inception in 2006, and unprecedented success in the 2007 general elections has maintained a steady rise. In Anambra state, as in many others, the party has been greatly energized and re-invigorated. The former state chairman of the party Chief MNC Ameke gave vent to the growth when he said “PPA has grown in leaps and bounds. Don’t forget, we controlled two states before. We have a number of legislators in the National assembly and in some state Assemblies.”

The new feeling is given a major boost when it is realized that among the major parties in serious contention for the governorship seat, it is the only one, outside the Labour Party (LP) that is not enmeshed in crises.

Ezeemo, admitted this much when he expressed satisfaction with the calm and focus of the party “Barely two months to the elections, the other parties are still in courts struggling for tickets. We have no distractions here and our campaigns are going on gradually, without disruptions”.

Who is Ezeemo? Is he running for governorship too? Just asking...

When a party lack internal democracy and unnecessary rancour,bitterness and quarrel are the order of the day,what do you expect?

All we are saying is let there be free and fair election. That isn't asking too much.
