Some Onitsha Main Market Traders over the weekend protested against the proposed re-appointment of one Chief Robinson Ezebunanwa who they described as a two-time Caretaker Chairman of zone 3 in the market, for another term.
The traders, under the aegis of Zone 3 stakeholders comprising all Chairmen and Secretaries of Zone 3 of Main Market, Onitsha, marched around the market and adjourning streets.
They carried placards which read “Onitsha Main Market Traders say NO TO REAPPOINTMENT OF ROBINSON.
Other placards include “Gov Soludo withdraw Robinson, he is a part of problems of our market, We don’t want him”.
The stakeholders who spoke through some of their leaders including, Chief Obinna Nduakor, Goodluck Offor and Mrs Monica Maduka the women leader of zone 3, called on Anambra government to carry the traders along in appointing those who will pilot their affairs, adding that in this case majority of rhe Traders do not support the incumbent chairman due to his past records.
They, however, commended Gov. Soludo for his policies on markets in the state but appealed to him to avoid retaining any member of the Caretaker executives who has served in the past
The traders advised the governor to instead appoint new people into the system so as to inject new ideas for greater development of the market.
