The Anambra Government has disassociated itself from a purported communiqu by Ohaneze Ndigbo endorsing the candidacy of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for the Feb. 16 presidential election.
Abubakar is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)s presidential candidate in the February 16 election.
Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, the Secretary to Anambra Government (SSG), made the disclosure in a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu.
Chukwulobelu declared that the contents of the communique did not reflect the Anambra Governments position.
His words, “We have read bits of the communiqu purportedly issued by the Ohaneze leadership. We regret that they do not reflect the position of the people and Government of Anambra State.
The position of the Anambra State Government is that Ohaneze should remain a united umbrella for all Ndigbo, and should not take sides with any party.
There are major leaders in all political parties, including the three major ones in Nigeria, namely, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), All Progressives Congress ( APC) and PDP.
It is deeply regrettable that the Ohaneze leadership has chosen to go down a divisive trajectory capable of setting back Igbo unity for several years.”
