The Abuja chapter of Anambra State Towns People Asso­ciation (ASTPA) has said that they don’t have any of the governorship con­testants in Anambra State as a consensus candidate, add-ing that their primary duty was to support and promote good governance in the state.

This was made known to the press by the Asso­ciation’s spokesman, Engr. Chukwuma Onyeme-likeya during the picking of form to run for second term by Governor Willy Obiano of the state under the platform of his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at the party’s na-tional secretar­iat in Abuja recently.

Governorship elections in Anambra State had been slated for 18 Novem­ber, 2017.

When asked, Onyeme­likeya however informed that ASTPA, being a non-political Association does not have a consensus can­didate. He said that each member has right to a can­didate of his or her choice.

According to him, “ASTPA is not a political organisation. In ASTPA, we believe in promotion and support of good gover­nance, because any person that is doing well, we sup­port and promote his good works. I can’t say categori­cally that ASTPA is for the PDP, APGA, APC or any person from any party. Ev­ery individual has his or her own candidate, even as he urged Governor Obiano of the state to address bad condition of the roads in Dunkofia Local Govern­ment and environs.

The spokesman there­fore called on all contes­tants not to see the contest as a do or die affair, even as he added that power comes from God. “Any­body that wants to serve the people should do that in line with the will and wish of God. Go into con­test with fear of God. Do not see it as do or die af­fairs,” he advised.
