[Mirror]

A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA,Chief Maxi Okwu yesterday urged the people of Anambra State to vote en masse for APGA during the governorship election.

Okwu, in a statement made available to National Mirror said that Ndi Anambra must return APGA to Government House, with an overwhelming mandate.

The statement reads in part: "It is important that the people of Anambra State do not go back to the days of mayhem and anomie. To do this they must return APGA to Government House, Awka with an overwhelming mandate. This is critically important so as not to lose momentum and ensure stability and consolidation in all sectors.

"It would be appropriate to remind Ndi Anambra that Saturday, November 16 marks the one hundred and ninth birthday of the greatest son of Nigeria: pioneer nationalist and father of the nation, the great Zik of Africa and Owelle of Onitsha. It was he in his heydays in politics that had the COCK as the symbol of the party he led; the National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC).

It would be the greatest disservice to this great son of Africa from Onitsha in Anambra State not to vote for his symbol on his birthday, even if posthumously. I therefore urge anyone who does not wish to commit 'nso ani' to stay home if you cannot vote for the COCK symbol."
