Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, yesterday, challenged local government chairmen and councillors to win their localties and get financial rewards.
Soludo promised the rewards to Wards and local governments that give APGA the highest number of votes in the November 8 governorship election.
Speaking during APGA rally in Anambra East Local Government Area, the governor promised between N1 million to N5 million.
According to Soludo: “Everywhere is APGA, we are targeting to win all the polling units everywhere.
“And let me end by telling you that the prices remain, at the last House of Assembly election, we promised that anyone that won would get 500,000, is that so?
“Now we are calculating them, the mayor or the campaign chairman, you will get for each one that we won in that House of Assembly election, they will be getting 500,000 and you go and give to them.
“And finally, again, there will be another price. We have declared price winner, anyone that wins their own Ward in this election will get 1 million.
“Okay, now let me tell you the prices that anyone who comes first in Anambra East will get. Local government will get a prize of 5 million for the one that will come first, 3 million for the one that will come second, 2 million for the one that will come third.
“Now for Anambra as a whole, out of the 21 local governments, which local government will win? It’s a challenge.
“Local government that will win out of the 21 local governments will get a cash award of 10 million.”
