Anambra Governorship: Imeobi Igbo Forum to organize debate for candidates

www.odogwublog.com reports that an Igbo socio-political organization, Imeobi Igbo Forum, yesterday in Onitsha, said it would in two

weeks' time organize a debate for all the gubernatorial candidates in the state irrespective of party affiliation.

The National Chairman of the forum, Chief Dr. Mike Onugha, gave the hint while speaking to newsmen.

Onugha said: "we will be having the debate to enable the

candidates tell the people how they intend to pilot the affairs of the

state if elected."

"We intend to ensure that whoever that is able to lead the people, we will support him. We need somebody that will be responsive to the yearnings of the  poor  people"

"The people should know their manifesto, antecedents and how they intend to run the state so that they will know who to support"

The Chairman of the forum reiterated that, "though we are not just doing it for only Anambra state, we will do it in the entire Igbo States as we have our tentacles spread across the zone when the need for them arises’’.

He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide for successful election by not disenfranchising eligible voters.

"We will not tolerate rigging, manipulation of results and other electoral malpractices," he warned
