Global Peace Movement International UK has congratulated governor-elect of Anambra state, Professor Charles Soludo on his election victory, warning contenders to sheath their swords and avoid litigation for the interest of the state.
In a press statement in London on Friday, President General of the group, Dr. Mike Uyi call on those who contested the election to team up with the governor-elect in his quest to take the state to new heights instead of instituting court cases to challenge the outcome.
Uyi described the election of the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, the governor as a reflection of the will of the Anambra state.
“GPMI heartily congratulate Prof. Chukwuma Soludo on his emergence as the governor-elect of Anambra State, after the keenly contested November 6, governorship election”.
“Though the outcome of the election might not have swung the way some individuals, especially those within the political circles, desired but Anambra have spoken and their choice must be respected and accepted.
“It is on this note that I call on all, irrespective of political affiliations, to put politics and issues of the election behind and come together as one people that we are, and join hands with Prof. Soludo to chart a new course for Anambra State.
“It is therefore imperative that we avoid the distractions of election litigations. Such will be counter-productive to the aspiration of the people to get the state working again. What we need at this moment is to concentrate energies on moving the state to greater heights.
“Against this backdrop, GPMI charge Prof. Soludo to ensure a true Anambra leadership by running an effective administration that will efficiently galvanize and harness the best hands so as to move Anambra state forward”.
“Prof. Soludo is reminded that the burden before him is a very onerous one. Anambra People look up to him to unite the people and return Anambra state to her pride of place as the flagship of development in our country”.
