Anambra Guber: Don’t be fooled by churches, group advises voters

A group known as Third Force in Anambra state has summoned on the residents not to be misled again by pronouncements from the Anglican and Catholic church denominations on who comes to be the governor of the state.

The group made the call at the weekend during a meeting at the country home of national chairman of African  Democratic Congress ADC chief Ralph Okey Nwosu  in Awka, Anambra State capital. Speaking after the meeting, spokesman  of the group Dr. Daves Ezeigwe said that what the state needs now was  a governor who will emerge meritoriously and equitably and not on religious inclination

According to him, the group is only interested in supporting person  that can see Anambra state as primary constituency and not the church he /she belongs. He accused the former governor of the state Mr. Peter Obi of abusing the process of who become the governor of the state  by indulging in Catholic and Anglican sentiment.

He said that those that the former governor presented to the state  have not done anything  meaningful to the people, noting that such move must be resisted by people  now.

“Anglican and Catholic are wearing  the garb of religion , but what the state needs now  are  people who will ascend to power on merit and not church computation. The governor   can come from anywhere including the Pentecostal churches. Anybody can be governor , no matter the denomination and we don’t want people to  canvases this time  base on Anglican or Catholic church sentiment .We need a governor with integrity  and merit” he said.

Ezeigwe   also said that people of the state have suffered much in the hands of the old politicians and the group  wants   to sensitise the people on the need to vote for credible person and not the church.

“If you vote any person without integrity from any denomination , the  people will still suffer. What we need now is a good person and not from the church ” he said.Ad
