Anambra 2021: Group advocates rancour free election
As the 2021 Anambra State governorship election gathers momentum, the Emerging Leaders Forum Of Nigeria(ELFON), a socio-political organisation has advocated for a rancour free, fair and credible election in the state.
The call is contained in a communique reached at the end of the body’s summit in Anambra State on Tuesday, 2nd November 2021 and made available to morenews.ng.
The Communique which is jointly signed by the ELFON Secretary, Anambra chapter, Amb. Celestine Uchechukwu Obi and Comr. Chineze Charles Ezeaniekwe – Anambra state YAN Ambassador indicates that the group is “composed of strong coalition of leaderships of deeply patriotic, progressive, vibrant young minds and youth fronts, such as Anambra State Council Of Youths, Catholic Youth Organization Of Nigeria, National Youth Council Of Nigera, National Union Of Anambra State Students, Youth Assembly Of Nigeria, National Union Of Road Transport Workers, Union Of Anambra Keke Napep Drivers, Anambra State Mechanics Association, Partners for good Governance among others”
The group in the Communiqué stated their resolve to enforce sanity and security to ensure the the people of Anambra as safe to go out and exercise their franchise in the November 6 governorship election in the state.
The body made the following points in the communique:
1) That the holding of a CREDIBLE, FREE and FAIR Governorship Election to enthrone an acceptable state leadership for Ndi Anambra, as already scheduled for November 6th 2021 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, is not NEGOTIABLE.
This will be so, to avoid a constitutional breach that will lead to an ALIEN GOVERNMENT in Anambra State.
2) That the accredited Law Enforcement Agents are enjoined to collaborate with Emerging Leaders Forum of Nigeria and eminent patriotic bodies in Anambra to forestall VOTER APATHY.
3) That the Federal Government is urged, as a matter of urgency to invoke concrete audacity to transparently address the imbalance in appointments and core issues of injustice that catalyzed agitations in the Southeast and other zones of the country for National Unity.
4) That the current destruction of the IGBO ECONOMY through the imposition, brazen extension and mischievous hijack of the SIT AT HOME ORDERS in the South East, shall receive a permanent solution in the coming Emerging Leaders National Unity CONFAB.
These resolutions shall not admit of any COMPROMISE.
This COMMUNIQUE is made under our hands thus:
