Democratic Network, a pro-democracy movement has voters in
Anambra State to completely disregard
calls by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB to boycott the November 18
governorship polls in the state, saying doing so would be detrimental to their
wellbeing.
Convener of the group, Chief Uche Nwogu in a press briefing in Abuja during the week said: “On the issue of IPOB asking Anambra people to boycott the election, the fact is that whether you come out or not, a governor would still be elected on that day and he will be your governor.
So, it will be in your interest to come out and
participate.
“Voter apathy is one of the greatest challenges in
Nigeria’s democracy.
People shy away from participating in politics because they
feel once a candidate is not anointed by a godfather, it will be difficult for
such person to win.
We are already collaborating with Anambra Broadcasting
Service ABS, the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW and other
organizations in the state to help get the message across to the voters.
“A bag of rice might last for some weeks but bad governance
lasts much longer. Money politics did not start today but what we are saying is
that looking around, in some places, you can see the effects of bad governance
and we are saying that henceforth, do not short-change yourself.”
