The Group issued a press statement in response to some
unguarded utterances where Rochas stated that
“we shall all come
down here to deliver the State to the ruling All Progressives Congress”
According to him “No man born of a woman can stop us from taking over Anambra
State come November 18”.
The group observed that
“Rochas and his
cohorts have already begun to register people of questionable origin
clandestinely with the aim of moving them to Anambra to rig the election. Their
plan is to use the army, police and other security agencies to harass the
people of Anambra to have their way in the November 18 poll.
They are boasting of
their access to federal might to manipulate INEC and other government agencies
to undermine the collective interest of Anambra and the entire Igbo people. But
this will not work. We will stop them on their tracks.
The Igbo people are
not known to be cowards or sell outs. We cannot be cajoled or deceived by a
plate of porridge. We are known to always stand up tall for what we believe in
and if need be die defending it. This we will do to defend the interest of
Anambra and Igbo people during the forthcoming election in Anambra state.”
The group went on to describe Rochas as a Failure and wondered
what he wants Anambarians to emulate from him.
“Why has Rochas who
has failed woefully as Governor of his Imo state now taken it as a point to
come to Anambra to do this if not to foment trouble?
Rochas who is not even
sure of his standing and his political future in his own state is now trying to
take Anambra state, albeit by hook or by crook. It is common knowledge today
across the nation that Rochas cannot win any election in his state due to his
negative political records.
It is also widely
known that Roachas election and entry into Imo government house was done under
controversial circumstance and this is also what he wants to foist on Anambra
State. But he should know that Anambra is not Imo State and the people of
Anambra will surely resist such evil attempt or plot.”
