Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Former Aviation Minister and frontline contender in the Anambra governorship race, Chief Osita Chidoka has informed the governor of Anambra State and governorship candidate of APGA, Governor Willie Obiano that game is up for him as no amount of vandalism of UPP’s billboard will reverse his imminent defeat at the poll.
Chidoka made the declaration in a statement on Friday signed by the Director Media, Osita Chidoka Campaign, Viola Ifeyinwa Okolie made available to Sundiata Post.
According to the statement, since the conclusion of UPP’s governorship primary that saw the emergence of Chidoka, Governor Obiano and his APGA have been thrown into a frenetic mode in their pathetic effort to cling to power even when it is clear to them that the game is up.
It continued; having been frightened by his emergence, Obiano has resorted to vandalizing UPP’s posters and billboards, mopping up Chidoka’s branded flyers, hand bills, brochures and other campaign materials.
Chidoka who said Obiano and APGA are fighting a lost battle, added that while they are busy squandering the goodwill of the people through their imprudent government, Osita Chidoka and the UPP are working hard, mobilizing the people for the ultimate mission of reclaiming the state.
He described their actions as that of drowning bunch that is merely clutching at a straw
They statement reads in part:
Governor Obiano and APGA should not get jittery yet. Perhaps they do not know that we are very much aware of their failed clandestine machinations to derail the UPP primary and scuttle the emergence of Chief Chidoka as the candidate. At the right time, when the people march, we will bare it all.
Today, all eyes are on Anambra as we march towards the November 18, 2017 governorship election. All discerning minds know that Osita Chidoka and the UPP are the major fear confronting Governor Obiano and his APGA. We know that this election is a straight contest; indeed a two horse race between Osita Chidoka and Governor Willie Obiano.
Governor Obiano and his APGA know that the other parties; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have no place in Anambra regarding this election. That is why the embattled governor and his enfeebled and destabilized party have been shadowing our campaign and even trying to copy our ideas and strategies.
However, our response to them is that they are fighting a lost battle. While they were busy, with reckless abandon, squandering the goodwill of the people through their imprudent government, Osita Chidoka and the UPP were working hard, mobilizing the people for the ultimate mission of reclaiming their state.
On this, we have gone very far and not even the vandalizing of our billboards and other campaign materials can stop us now, neither can it erase the consciousness that is already with the people or redeem Governor Obiano and APGA from the shame of rejection by ndi Anambra.
