The All Progressives Congress in Anambra State has asked the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, to resign following his inability to conduct elections in the 21 local government areas in the state over a year since he assumed office.

As a consequence, the party said the Federal Government should appoint a “caretaker” governor to run the affairs of the state.

It stated this in a statement signed by the statePublicity Secretary,Okelo Madukaife, on Wednesday.

Both APC and the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance in Anambra have been tackling each other over the non-conduct of LG elections in the state since 2014.

Okelo pointed out that since 1999 when democracy returned to the country, Anambra State had only organised two local government elections and that was during the early days of Late Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju administration and towards the end of Peter Obi’s administration in 2014.

The state chairman of APGA, Mr Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, had in an interview recently, cited “litany of litigation” at thecourts as the reason preventing the state from holding LG elections.

But in the statement, Okelo asked the Anambra people and the general public to critically engage APGA on the issues concerning the Anambra State local governments. (The PUNCH)
