THE list of candidates for the November 16 governorship election published by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is causing tension in Anambra State with Chief Tony Nwoye whose name was dropped for that of Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu appealing to his supporters to remain calm, assuring that the issue would soon be sorted out.

Director General of Tony Nwoye Campaign Organization, Prince Okey Ezenwa who spoke on behalf of Chief Tony Nwoye at a news briefing in Awka, urged PDP supporters to continue to mobilize in their respective wards to maintain the party’s hold at the grassroots level.

He said: “INEC published the names of candidates eligible to contest the governorship election and surprisingly the candidate who was elected by PDP at the primaries did no appear. We were made to understand that INEC was merely obeying court order. To us that is no problem and we are only asking our supporters not to be disillusioned.

“It is not for me to predict what will happen as that lies with INEC. But we are grateful to our supporters for taking this development calmly.”

He said that as at 3 -00 am on Tuesday, national leaders of PDP were still at INEC headquarters insisting that Tony Nwoye is the party’s candidate, adding that for the fact that INEC simply said court order on the column for PDP showed that the matter was yet to be resolved.

According to him, there has been a plethora of court cases concerning the PDP ticket, but assured that the issue would soon come to an end.
