Anambra Guber: APC inaugurates 1,800-member campaign council

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has inaugurated a 1,800-man campaign council ahead of the November 8 governorship election in Anambra.

The National Chairman of the party, Nentawe Yilwatda, during the inauguration in Awka on Tuesday, said that the APC has what it takes to defeat Chukwuma Soludo, the incumbent governor.

Represented by the Southeast Vice-Chairman of the party, Ijeoma Arodiogbu, the National Chairman said the APC will deploy all its resources to legally unseat Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.

“Anambra is very dear to the APC national leadership. We have selected all of you because we believe that you can do the job.

“We are going for nothing but victory, and for us to achieve it you have to double your efforts. I assure you that the south-east APC, Hope Uzodimma, our national leadership and President Bola Tinubu are all behind you.

“Therefore, when you add up all these, you will agree with me that victory is assured come November 8,” he said.

According to him, other campaign structures will be inaugurated, including senatorial, local government, ward and polling unit teams, urging the council and party members to work hard to ensure the APC’s victory.

Speaking, the APC governorship candidate, Nicholas Ukachukwu, appealed for support from party faithful and residents of the state, saying he would provide a secure environment to enhance the business climate in the state if elected.

He promised to establish a gas power plant in Anambra to harness abundant gas resources for industrial development, pledging to transform the agricultural value chain with insurance policies to promote mechanised farming.

On his part, the Director-General of the campaign council, Dozie Ikedife, pledged on behalf of members, to deliver Ukachukwu as governor and Uche Ekwunife as deputy governor.
