ONITSHA-Anambra State government yesterday banned political campaigns and rallies in the 42 markets and all motor parks in the state, following last Monday\u2019s clash by some political parties in Awka and Onitsha.<\/p>\n

This is coming on the heels of the clash between traders suspected to be\u00a0 members of APGA and ACN in Onitsha, where former governor and senatorial candidate of ACN for Anambra Central senatorial zone , Dr Chris Ngige, who was billed to address the traders at the main market, Onitsha, was attacked.<\/p>\n

Also at Eke Awka market in Awka, some traders, suspected to be card-carrying members of APGA, also clashed with Accord Party supporters who were there to campaign for their candidate, Senator Annie Okonkwo, and this led to the death of one person.<\/p>\n

Speaking at an emergency meeting with the chairmen and stakeholders of the markets, Special Adviser to the governor on Markets and Parks, Chief Sylvester Nwobu- Alor, said government\u2019s decision was to ensure peace and tranquility in the state, especially during this period of election.<\/p>\n
