ONITSHA, Anambra, Nigeria – The Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Anambra state chapter has  demanded  that the ruling  All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) to comeout  clean on their roles on the upsurge of violence ahead of November 6 governorship election.

A statement issued by Publicity Secretary of  ZLP Campaign Council, Afam Dozie Ofomata on  Tuesday in Awka Anambra state said there is a serious  burden on APGA and APC, as political parties, to speak up regarding their alleged connections with the wave of attacks ahead of polls.

According to  the ZLP ,APGA and APC control the apparatus of power at both  the state and federal levels and as such, bear the onus to explain their roles in the  situation in the state, particularly since it became clear that the electoral tide is not flowing in their favour.

“There is clear indication that those behind the insecurity situation are parties who, having realized that there is no hope for their candidates, are desperate to instill fear in the mind of the electorate and prevent them coming out en mass to elect ZLP as the governor of their choice.

It is obvious that APGA and APC are unsettled with uncompromising consensus by Ndi Anambra to elect the ZLP candidate, Dr. Obiora Okonkwo, whose popularity has continued to soar as the coalition flag-bearer for the November election, given his practical credentials to rescue the state from the current misrule of the APGA,” it stated .

The ZLP however urged  its teeming supporters to remain calm, law abiding, and be at alert, as they continue in their determined rally to elect Dr. Okonkwo, come November 6, 2021.
