THE Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called on security agencies to investigate the alleged destruction of campaign billboards of the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Chris Ngige by people suspected to be members of the mainstream All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA.
In a statement by its publicity secretary, Mr. Okelo Madukaife, the party described the incident as an act of intimidation, adding that voters in the state would not be deterred in their choice of APC.
The party also stated that Anambra people have resolved to return Ngige as governor.
It said “let word go out from here to all security agencies, to all concerned Ndi Anambra, to Nigeria and the world about plans to influence the outcome of the November 16, 2013 election undemocratically, by installing a stooge and factional candidate of APGA.”
The APC also alleged that some bill boards of the APC candidate “Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige, have been brought down surreptitiously and posters extensively torn by hoodlums believed to be members of a faction of APGA in a desperate attempt to create fear in the mind of the voters in Anambra State who are decided on where their votes would go.’’
