Politics
Anambra State governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr John Nwosu has revealed that he would not step down for anyone in the forthcoming election in the state.
Nwosu in a press release by the Director General of campaign council, Hon. Bonny Okoye revealed that he was recently visited by the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Dr George Moghalu in his country home in Nnewi for a discussion on the election.
Both candidates are from Nnewi, and had both recently acknowledged that their aspiration may split their vote in the industrial town, while Moghalu had hinted that before the election, he and Nwosu would meet and harmonize to ensure that the town presented one candidate.
But in a press release on Tuesday, Nwosu insisted that he would prosecute the election to the end and wouldn’t step down for Moghalu or anyone else.
He said: “On Saturday, 30th August, upon his request, the Labour Party candidate Chief George Moghalu visited the ADC candidate Mr John Chuma Nwosu at his country home.
“Both candidates discussed an array of issues relating to the 8th November Anambra governorship election. They shared the view of the urgent need to replace the incumbent ruling administration in Anambra State.
“The ADC candidate, Mr Nwosu, made very clear his intention to run a clean, focused political campaign until the very end.
“He was of the view that Anambra voters should decide whom they want as governor. Accordingly, the issue of any candidate stepping down for the other was completely off the table.
“I wish to reiterate, hereby, that ADC will remain in the governorship race until the very end,” the Director General insisted.
The Anambra governorship election will hold on November 8.
Both the LP and ADC candidates are top contenders in the election which also has other heavy weights like Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo as candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu.
