Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State and the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Hon Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi, have urged the people of the state not to despair
over the postponement of the February polls.
Chime and Ugwuanyi who spoke yesterday at Enugu North
council headquarters during the ongoing campaigns disclosed
that election had been postponed by six weeks. The governor
told the people to vote for the PDP regardless of the new date
set for the polls.
Also speaking, Ugwuanyi urged the people to remain with the
party no matter when the election would hold. He pledged to
continue with all the policies, programmes and projects of
Chime in what he called seamless continuity. Ugwuanyi noted
that Enugu was home to all Nigerians who lived in the Coal
City.
Reacting to the postponement of the date for the election, the
former Governor of Anambra State and the Deputy Director
General of the PDP National Campaign Council, Mr. Peter Obi
said INEC announcement of shift of dates of the election was
good for the country and democracy. “Elections are about
credible processes that lead to the election itself. The
announcement is in line with the law and it will allow time for
appropriate distribution of permanent voter card which at the
moment is 34 percent of eligible voters. It will also allow INEC
to address other challenges necessary for a free and fair
election”, Obi said
