Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra on Tuesday, sealed two popular buildings in Awka, the state capital.
The affected properties include the former campaign office of the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, and former governor of the state, Peter Obi and the office of the Edozie Njoku-led All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
The operation took place at the Udoka Housing Estate by government officials under the watchful eyes of security operatives.
It is not clear yet why the Soludo-led administration sealed the buildings.
Meanwhile, Mr Tony Uche Ezekwelu, the South-East National Vice Chairman of APGA, has expressed disappointment over the government’s action.
He stated that the move might be politically motivated, given APGA’s growing influence under Edozie Njoku’s leadership.
Ezekwelu noted that the office had been operational for just two months and was actively involved in preparations for the upcoming local government elections.
He criticized the lack of prior notice before the sealing, stressing that the area has long been used for political activities without issue.
“This office previously served as the campaign headquarters for Peter Obi during his presidential bid, and other political figures have used the space without interference,” he stated.
However, despite the concerns raised by APGA, Governor Soludo, who is a member of the party, in a broadcast marking the creation of Anambra State, assured that the internal crisis within APGA would soon be resolved.
