Anambra State Government has commenced a tour aimed at sensitising the youths and eligible voters on the need to come out enmasse to vote on November 16.
Over 10 Local Governments have been covered which include, Aguata, Orumba North and South, Ekwusigo, Nnewi North and South, Ogbaru, Onitsha North and South among others.
Briefing newsmen in Awka, the Special Assistant to Governor Peter Obi on Youth Mobilisation, Hon Nduka Alor who superintended the tour said, the exercise is to harmonise the youths in Anambra to be under one umbrella irrespective of the party affiliation.

He said the voter education will enable the youths especially some of them in the hinterlands to know that voting is their power, right and franchise.
“Apart from the harmonisation and voter education, we are also planning a 10,000 match by the Anambra State youths which will be drawn from the 177 communities across the state. The 10,000 match will be in solidarity to the APGA candidate, Chief Willie Obiano and we intend to trek round the major cities in Anambra State, praying and asking God to give us another person who will perform better than Gov. Peter Obi. The scripture tasks us to pray for our leaders as that is the only means of enthroning good governance and its sustenance.
“Secondly, we intend to also announce to the youths that His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi (CON) who have been empowering the youths over the years is now set to empower the youths especially now that they have come together under one umbrella.
The 500 people earlier trained will first be empowered. Some of them were worried since then for the delay in the empowerment but we have been trying to ensure that the empowerment gets to every youth that was trained. We are just waiting for the governor to give us a go-ahead order” he said.
The governor’s aide also savoured the opportunity to advise the youths to be careful and shun any form of electoral violence, thuggery or any act that is capable to mar their future even as he enjoined them to X-ray critically the programmes of the party’s candidates to identify those that have good plan for the youths adding that Chief Willie Obiano has so far proven to be the best in terms of youth agenda. “Youths vote is so significant because they have about 52 percent  voting strength which is the largest voting power in the state as was shown in the recent voters’ register published by INEC” he submitted.
