The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Anambra state chapter, has passed a vote of confidence on Governor Chukwuma Soludo and called on the people of Anambra to support his government by voting APGA candidates in the state assembly election.
IPAC made the call in a communique raised after its meeting in Awka, recently.
The communiqué which was signed by the chairman of IPAC in the state Chief Uche Ugwoji said it had x-rayed the political barometer and came to the conclusion that Soludo had managed Anambra affairs satisfactorily.
It said considering the security situation and the scare it took the resilience of the Soludo-led government for the Feb. 25 presidential and national assembly to hold without a security breach.
“As a result of these, the IPAC Anambra State chapter hereby advises Anambra people to support the government during the forthcoming governorship/ State House of Assembly elections.
“We say things as they are without fear or favour, so far the government of His Excellency Professor Chukwuma Soludo needs our support to succeed.
“As you may be aware, IPAC is the umbrella body of all registered political parties in Nigeria, a non-partisan organisation, though the members play partisan politics in their various political platforms as a party,” it said.
IPAC said the support for the government was necessary to ensure its stability in order to succeed in carrying out its policies and programmes.
IPAC called on the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to address the issues that gave rise to the challenges experienced during the Feb. 25 polls.
“The Feb. 25 has been criticised by all and sundry and is now a subject of litigation in the law court.
“INEC should diligently prosecute the coming governorship and State Houses of Assembly election, for its credibility to be accepted by all without any iota of doubt,” it said.
Governor Soludo is of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and is seeking comprehensive victory for the party to ensure its candidates fill the 30 seats in the Anambra House of Assembly.
