The Citizens Anti-Corruption Volunteer Corps (CACVC) says it will soon embark on profiling potential guber candidates ahead the 2017 governorship election in Anambra State. “We shall be conducting exit survey on all the interested candidates standing for party primary elections and otherwise,” CACVC said in a statement issued in Lagos by its Executive Director, Comr. Eze Harris Chuma.

The group said: “CACVC shall be looking at their antecedents, and pedigrees and publish same. We promise to launch an anti corruption barometer in Anambra political space, this will be greatly supported via data gathering and monitoring exercises currently being observed.

“We firmly believe that it is no longer business as usual. Anambra State political environment must be sanitised and crooks separated from those who are without dents of corruption. Any candidate found be corrupt both in the past and present shall be exposed and the electorates dully encouraged to shun their political antics. We are aware of the ongoing indiscriminate endorsements of interested guber candidates; may we warn that no political party existing in the state will be isolated in the proposed scrutiny of candidates by CACVC.

“Never again will the citizens be taken for granted! Rise up now and shout down corruption!”

CACVC also announced in the statement that work is in progress on the Anambra State Corruption Perception Index.
