Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has denied the rumour making rounds that he is campaigning for other political parties.

The governor who spoke through his Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C.Don Adinuba, said;

“It has come to the knowledge of the Anambra State Government that a fast-growing number of political parties and their candidates participating in the 2019 general election boldly claim that Governor Willie Obiano has endorsed them.”

“To make the claim look authentic, many have published in their campaign posters, fliers and banners, their pictures with Governor Obiano. Many of the photographs were taken with the governor at public functions, churches, etc, often without the governor knowing about them.”

“The Anambra State Government wishes to state categorically that the claims by the parties and politicians are false, misleading and disingenuous. Governor Obiano endorses only APGA candidates in the forthcoming election. As the APGA National Leader and Chairman of the APGA Board of Trustees, he cannot endorse candidates contesting on the platforms of other political parties.”

“All Ndi Anambra should, therefore, disregard the claim by the politicians that Chief Obiano has endorsed them when they are not APGA candidates. These politicians want to use Chief Obiano’s immense popularity to hoodwink Anambra State voters and make them vote for candidates other than those of APGA.”
