NIGERIA- With few hours to tomorrow’s Governorship Election in Anambra State, pre-election violence was averted yesterday when supporters of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and their Labour Party counterparts met in Nnewi during rally.

It was revealed that APGA candidate, Chief Willie Obiano was holding the last rally for his gubernatorial campaign at the Nkwo Nnewi Triangle, and all of a sudden, the Labour Party candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah, who is an indigene of Nnewi, rolled out his campaign train – about ten trucks, buses, and half a dozen SUVs – and circled the APGA campaign ground.

While Mr. Obiano’s giant loudspeakers at the rally ground belched out his campaign jingles to the scores of supporters present; Mr. Ubah’s train, playing loud music, sang about their principal’s promises to the Anambra people.

However, tension grew when an announcer standing on the podium at the APGA rally, began to question Mr. Ubah’s intelligence.

“You have seen the stupidity of someone who wants to rule Anambra. If an elder spills the palm oil, what would a child do,” said the visibly angry announcer.

“If Peter Obi (the state governor) was not a good man, there would have been trouble here now.

“If Peter Obi had given him tax like they do at the Lagos ports, he (Mr. Ubah) would not have all these trucks here. He knows he would fail and that’s why he wants to cause trouble,” he added.

Sources revealed to CEOAFRICA.com that the noise supremacy between the two parties lasted for hours, as some Labour Party supporters even went as far as sharing Ifeanyi Ubah’s handbill where he said he will create 40,000 jobs within his first year in office to APGA supporters, who were embittered by the act, although their anger does not lead to violence.
