Onitsha Tanker Fire: How Politicians turned Ochanja Market into campaign ground

FOLLOWING the recent fire outbreak in Onitsha, many politicians have turned the burnt Ochanja Market in Onitsha into a possible source of votes ahead of the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State, with many of them either making promises to the affected traders, or issuing statements blaming the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, - controlled state government of being responsible for the fire outbreak. While some people were crying over their losses, the youths who stormed the market in large numbers turned the area into political carnival of sort for the politicians.
