National chairman of Zenith Labour Party, ZLP, Dan Nwuanyawu has given reasons his party picked Obiora Okonkwo who lost at the PDP primaries as its flag bearer in the upcoming Anambra governorship election in November 2021.
Nwuanyawu said after an observation that Obiora deliberately schemed at the PDP primaries, the Zenith labour party decided to bring him to its fold because he( Okonkwo) cuts across the length and breadth of the voting population in Anambra state.
According to him, “our party, the zenith labour party consulted widely before reaching at the decision to bring in Obiora as our candidate for the November election as the standard flag bearer of our party ”
He said Anambra politics from inception is very dynamic as interest groups play major roles to determine who should be the governor of the state.
Though Obiora Okonkwo did not contest the governorship primaries of the zenith labour party, Nwuanyawu said ” the independent national Electoral commission INEC, has provision for substitution of candidates ahead of the election so long as the rules are not flouted and fall within the time frame of the election “.
He said Okonkwo will not only add value to governance in Anambra state but to the party when he eventually becomes governor of the state as he warns the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, not to cede its powers to the legislative arm of government especially on the issue of electric transmission of results. Nwuanyawu maintains that ” the best thing that would happen in future elections in Nigeria is that results of elections are transmitted electronically ” to reduce frictions in the polity as well as a waste of time at tribunals.
