We Will Stop Anambra Central – Equity Movement
By Chukwuemeka Benson, Onitsha
Angered by the move by some canvassers to return power to Anambra Central Senatorial District, a group known as “Equity Movement Turn By Turn” has vowed to stop the agitators in their track.
The group in a statement signed by its Chairman Hon. Gaius Ezeh and Secretary, Hon. Dan Ejianya, made available to GreenWhiteGreen, GWG, recalled that it was the former governor of the state, Mr. Peter Obi, during his eight years in office that convinced Anambrarians of the need to zone political offices to the senatorial districts.
“Equity Movement Turn By Turn” expressed concern why what it claimed as zoning according to senatorial districts would be distorted by the agitation by the Anambra Central political actor.
“We are angry that, should the North senatorial zone return power to the Central senatorial district, it would then appear that the zoning arrangement is between the two zones,” a development the group said would be unfair.
“The essence of rotation is for equity to be ensured. Anambra South has ruled this state through Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, Senator Andy Uba and Dame Virgy Etiaba for a total of 5 years and 5 months. Senator Chris Ngige and Mr Peter Obi ruled the state for a total of 11 years before handing over to the incumbent, Chief Willie Obiano, who will be taking eight years for Anambra North senatorial zone at the completion of his tenure.
“We have met and discussed with various groups and personalities, stakeholders in the state who saw the reason to agree that power must return to the South senatorial district,” the Equity Movement said in rejecting return of power to Anambra Central.
“We therefore appeal to all and sundry to support the substance of the rotation for the greatest good of Anambra state and her people and to make Nigerians think we desire to be taken seriously as we demand for the rotation of the Presidency of the Federal republic of Nigeria.”
