TRADERS in various markets at the Onitsha Bridge Head on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2017 say they have resolved to vote massively for Governor Willie Obiano in the Nov. 18 polls.
They said that this is to enable him to consolidate on projects that he started in Anambra State.
Sunday Obinze, the president-general of the markets, said this while addressing, no fewer than 15,000 traders during a political rally.
Obiano has provided an enabling environment in the last three and half years, for trade and commerce to thrive.
Obinze that security measure installed by the governor had helped to guarantee safety of lives and property.
“We do not need a change of governor. We have absolute confidence that Gov. Obiano, who will over the next four years touch on all other vital areas he was unable to touch in the first tenure.
“He has also involved traders in the scheme of things, the first of its kind since the creation of Anambra State.
“Do you want a change?,” he rhetorically asked his colleagues, who re-echoed that they prefer Obiano to continue.
Anthony Chuloli, chairman of UBA Joist and Plank Association and Mr Peter Adia, recalled that before Obiano became governor, there was no single market in the state that did not record one fire disaster or another.
“We don’t want to return to godfatherism and we don’t want our market and property to be set ablaze again. We are ready to sink or swim with Obiano in the Nov. 18, election.
They advised candidates of other political parties contesting the election not to waste their money and time on traders, because they had unanimously resolved, what direction they were headed.
They cautioned the parties to allow zoning to continue so as to make for smooth transition, so as to enhance development of every zone.
It would also sustain peace and unity and reduce waste of money and energy during elections.
