From Okwe Obi, Abuja
Ahead of Saturday’s Anambra State governorship election, Chairman of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Yabagi Sani, has encouraged voters to come out enmasse and vote for the party with the promise of prioritising their welfare.
Sani, who spoke in Abuja, yesterday, at the campaign flag off of its Candidate, Afam Douglas Ume-ezeoke, noted that the exercise would be a watershed and a  crossroads for the people.
He discouraged the electorate against voting the All Progressives Congress (APC) People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), stating that they do not have anything to offer the masses.
 
“The ADP has promised through you, to provide good and transparent government; you have pledged free and qualitative education; severally, you have assured the people of Anambra State that under you, the era of multiple taxation will become a thing of the past;
 
“Just as you have given your word that an ADP administration will frontally address the perennial crises of poor and delayed payment of salaries and wages of all public workers; in your manifestoes and assurances given in the course of your interpersonal and door-to-door campaigns, is the undertaking to radically redress the deficits in health-care delivery as well as infrastructural development in Anambra State if you get the people’s mandate. 
 
“These and more, you must endeavour to materialize once you become the Governor of Anambra State, by God’s grace,” he said
According to him, “It is time that they are made to understand that this time around, they have come to their waterloo in the people and in the ADP.
“The 2021 Governorship elections in Anambra State, is a watershed, a crossroads, bringing the people of Anambra State to a point that history that they must make a courageous and decisive choice to take their destinies in their hands or, continue in bondage.
“It is time that they are made to understand that this time around, they have come to their waterloo in the people and in the ADP.”
He added that, “I need not to rehash the fact that, from 1999 to date, the leadership of Anambra State has been a relay race by which the baton of debauchery, buccaneering, pillaging and subterfuge have been rotating between the PDP and APGA and some of the chameleonic characters now transmuted and masquerading as members of the APC.
“Our findings however, is that the people have become wiser and have resolved accordingly to wrest themselves from the shackles that have held down their progress and prosperity.”
Ume-ezeoke, in his acceptance speech, encouraged the masses to come out to vote, adding that they should not be intimidated by anybody.
The labour union leader assured the masses that if elected, he would implement all his promises to them.
