A governorship aspirant of the Labour Party for next year’s election in Anambra State, John Nwosu, has rejected the proposed local government election by the state independent electoral commission.
Nwosu, in a press statement he signed and sent out to newsmen, described the process as being hasty and purposefully intended to aid the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, to capture the grassroots for next year’s election.
He said: “The unbelievably contrived and hurried local government election purportedly scheduled for 28th September 2024 is stranger than fiction.
“The governor is convinced that he can capture the Anambra State judiciary and use them to rubber stamp the election heist he is planning against the wishes of Ndi Anambra, who are ready and willing to participate massively in the local government election.
“We cannot condemn the 2023 general elections in Nigeria as lacking the minimum standards expected of a democratic election and sit by watching the Anambra State local government election head with speed to a worse outcome.
“Accordingly, I, Mr John Nwosu, on behalf of the John Nwosu Campaign Organisation, reject the hurried and spurious amendments to the Anambra State Local Government Election Law crassly done in favour of the incumbent government of Anambra State.”
He stated that the Local Government Election Law, which is guiding the election, has been hurriedly amended twice to achieve a set purpose.
