The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday, September 27, 2021 charged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe the Anambra State finances in a bid to uncover monumental corruption in the State.
The APC Chairman in the State, Chief Basil Ejidike, made this call in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Chief Dan Okeke, in Awka.
The party accused the Anambra Government of fraudulent use of its monthly security vote totaling several billions of Naira.
The statement read: “Anambra as a state has not recorded significant growth and development since the inception of Governor Willy Obiano’s leadership. To maintain existing developmental structures in the state remains unattainable.”
“We urge APGA to focus on its campaign and leave APC alone.
“Harassing the State House of Assembly members who left APGA for APC is a distraction for the party; proferring solutions to APGA’s internal problems should be paramount to its leadership,’’ Ejidike said.
He also reminded APGA that in a democracy, there is freedom of association.
He urged more members of the state’s House of Assembly to live APGA and join the ruling national party to take the southeast to mainstream national politics.
“Tread on the path of your colleagues to join APC so as to return the lost glory of Anambra,’’ Ejidike appealed.
The statement added: “Development has neither been visible nor felt by the people of Anambra.
“We urge APGA to focus on its campaign and leave APC alone.
