THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Anambra state has bitterly cried out to Gov
Willie Obiano and agents of his administration
over what it described as the continuous ,
defacing and destruction of campaign posters,
billboards and other materials of her
candidates and members, including those of
President Goodluck Jonathan in parts of the
state.
The party, according to Prince Ken Emeakayi, a
the leader of the PDP Contact and Mobilization
Committee of the Presidential campaign
council in the state, has already formally
petitioned the security agencies including the
Police, the State Security Service, the Army,
the Navy and the state governor amongst
others over the matter.
Emeakayi noted that since the PDP has chosen
the part of honour, discipline and peace by
restraining their members who have been
rearing to react and go on the offensive, they
have therefore given the governor a benefit of
doubt to call his men to order, to avoid the
situation from degenerating into an open
conflict.
He said the party was aware of the antagonistic
moves being made to cause disaffection and
anger amongst other candidates for a fight to
break out.
The PDP chieftain cautioned all political actors
in the state to endeavor to play by the rules,
eschew violence and use of foul language
against each other, noting that politics remains
an honourable game of wits, words and
numbers, where only those with character and
superior argument prevail.
He said: “We have received several complaints
from most of our candidates that members of
the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) and
All Progressives Congress(APC) have been
destroying, defacing and vandalizing PDP
billboards, posters and handbills and other
campaign materials in parts of the state...”
He wondered at the state of mind of those who
decide not to go on campaign to the
electorates but devote time to plan on how to
attack the popular PDP candidates, especially
the President, even as he urged the governor
and other party leaders to step into the matter
immediately and restore sanity.
On the new bye-law by the state Assembly on
campaigns by those they see as not among the
candidates whose names were published by the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), who have pending cases in courts on
their nominati those behind it.
He said the move was a clear mockery of what
a legislature should be doing because the
matter was ultra vires the powers of a State
Assembly, since laws guiding elections in
Nigeria were Federal laws, hence state
Assemblies have no powers to legislate over
same.
“This shows that the state Assembly acts
arbitrarily without sound research and legal
counsel.”, he said.

SE is APGA's stronghold.APGA chose to support Jonathan,but not totally this time.
I once mentioned on one thread late last year that Anambra APGA will work to lift Buhari,should he be APC's candidate,up to 25% or above while also ensuring Jonathan wins a reasonable majority.One Freefool like that,who doesn't know what goes on in Anambra,came to challenge me.
APGA under Obiano,though committed to Jonathan,is not going to place all its eggs in one basket.
