Billionaires Desperate To Buy Anambra Governorship -Etiaba

A Chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) and governorship hopeful, in the forthcoming Anambra poll, Cheif Bennet Etiaba out has decried the desperation of many billionaires in the race to buy the governorship election.

Etiaba said this when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Nnewi.

“Since the creation of the state, we have not witnessed large number of billionaires indicating interest in the governorship election like we have now,” he said.

“Majority of them have been moving around lobbying and doing all manner of things to ensure they achieve their set target,” he said.

He said that money should not be used as yardstick for selecting flag bearers of political parties for the November poll.

“Anambra people should know that most of the billionaire aspiring for the election, are approaching governance from the view point of buying and selling and that will be detrimental to the future of our state.

“The people should rather support aspirants with prerequisite leadership track records, integrity and humble disposition,” he said.

Etiaba, besides his poser to the billionaires in the Anambra governorship contest also x-rayed the activities of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) led administration in the state in the past 16 years, concluded that the 2021 election was the time to vote out APGA.

“APC stands a better chance to win the 2021 governorship election in Anambra, because of a number of benefits the state has recorded in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari,” Etiaba said besides his charge against some billionaires in the guber race.

“Some of these include construction of second Niger Bridge, rehabilitation of Onitsha/Enugu expressway, the Onitsha/Owerri expressway, and reactivation of Onitsha Inland Waterways Port,” he said.

Etiaba said the state and the entire South/East stood a better chance to develop under the APC than any other political party and urged the people to take advantage of the opportunity. (NAN)
