Traders in Ogbete, Enugu Main Market on Saturday, declared their support for Frank Nweke Jnr., the governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Enugu State at the forthcoming election.

The traders adopted Mr Nweke as their sole candidate and pledged to massively vote for him at the poll.

The traders made the decision known when Mr Nweke went to the market to canvass for votes.

The traders noted their desire for a change in the governance structure in the state.

A trader, Miracle Ezioma surprised everyone when she offered a token of N1,000 as donation to Nweke’s campaign.

“I will vote for APGA because I like the man. Frank Nweke Jnr. is a nice man and shows love to everyone.

“I want to show appreciation for what he is doing in Enugu State and I am encouraging him with a support of N1000,’’ she said jubilantly.

Another trader, Ms Emmanuella, said her support was premised on Mr Nweke’s detachment from any godfather, noting that this would keep him accountable to the people without a need to pay obeisance to any cabal.

Responding, Mr Nweke told the traders to reject vote buying but enthrone visionary leadership in Enugu State.

“You can achieve this by voting massively for APGA at the forthcoming elections,’’ Mr Nweke admonished.
