The Labour Party 2023 House of Assembly candidates in Anambra State have expressed their strong disapproval of the recent crackdown on vendors in Awka, the capital city of Anambra State.
In a statement issued by the party’s spokesperson, Mr. Humphrey Iloh, the group described the actions taken by the government as dictatorial and expressed their concern over the violation of the constitutional rights of the people.
The group specifically mentioned the destruction of newspaper stands and the mistreatment of newspaper vendors in Awka on February 15, 2024, as well as the tragic killing of Mr. Arinze Obuladike, a resident of Iyiowa Odekpe, in Ogbaru LGA, by the Special Anambra State Anti-Touting Squad (SASA) on February 16, 2024.
The Labour Party 2023 House of Assembly candidates strongly condemn these acts and view them as a clear indication of a dictatorial regime in Anambra State. They assert that the current style of governance goes against the principles of the Nigerian Constitution, which emphasizes the security and welfare of the people.
