The candidate of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) Chief Godwin Ezeemo, has boasted that he will defeat incumbent Governor Willy Obiano at the governorship election in Anambra State.
The governorship election is slated for November 18.
Speaking with newsmen on Monday, Ezeemo, said he was ready to replicate the incident of the 2003 election when an incumbent seeking for re-election lost to the opposition candidate at the poll in the state.
He said, “Well, as far as Anambra State is concerned, the precedence we had here was that an incumbent governor has lost election in Anambra State in 2003.
“If it happens again, it is not anomaly. It is the right thing to do. As long as the particular person that is elected into an office has not done well, obviously, the people that make choice will choose who will go for them.
“They would not want a repeat of failure. It is natural thing. Forget about the money that is being spent by anybody. If people know what they want do, they will do exactly what they want to do.
“My appeal to the electorate is for the electorate to start to look at candidates now from the point of view of their antecedence, from the point of view of what they have done in the past, from the point of view of who they are, what they have been able to do in the society at large.
“On our own, we are not buying the electorate. We appeal to the conscience of the electorate for them to make a choice between us and some other persons that are in the race.
“So, they know that their association is not based on the money they have collected. Do you understand that?”
