The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the governor of Anambra State of orchestrating violence in last Saturday’s by-election in the state.
The state had held by-elections to elect a representative in the Senate for Anambra South Senatorial Zone, and House of Assembly member of Onitsha North 1 State Constituency.
In a late press conference on Sunday, the chairman of the APC in Anambra State and their governorship candidate, Mr Basil Ejidike and Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu raised the alarm, accusing Soludo of orchestrating violence and holding key party officials hostage, just to rig the election in their favour.
In his own briefing, the governorship candidate of APC lamented that the forthcoming governorship election May breed chaos if Soludo’s strategy is not checked. He also called on the police and DSS to take steps to disarm local security operatives working for Anambra State government and also keep them away from election duties.
