The governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Anambra State, Mr. Tony Nwoye, has insisted that he will not be part of Saturday’s supplementary election in the state.
Briefing reporters on Tuesday in Awka, the Director-General of Tony Nwoye Campaign Organisation, Mr. Victor Ezenwa, said the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, who said the PDP would take part in the election, was on his own.
Ezenwa said, “our Candidate, Comrade Tony Nwoye has said it over and over again that he will not be part of it and if PDP participates in the said election, it means giving credibility to illegal act.
“Metuh ought to realise the circumference of his office, he cannot continue putting words into the mouth of the PDP Candidate in the state.
“The position of our party is that we are not going to be part of the election, Metuh is on his own, what he is doing is at variance to the views of the majority of the people of Anambra State.”
The Director of Protocol, Tony Nwoye Campaign Organisation, Mr. Ken Arinze, said PDP would pursue the matter legally and by other legitimate means to make sure that justice was done.
He, however, thanked the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, for standing behind the PDP governorship candidate in the November 16 election.
