[From CHINEDU NWAFOR, Abakaliki]
Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming November 6 election in Anambra State, Senator Andy Uba, has presented his manifesto to the State leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, and pledged to tackle insecurity, unemployment and empower youths and women with vigor, if elected.
Presenting the manifesto to the President of Anambra State Chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prince Emeka Udodeme, at Akwa, Anambra State, yesterday, Uba also promised to tackle infrastructure decay in the state.
Senator Uba was accompanied by the Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr. Ikem Okeke, his deputy governorship candidate, Mr. Emeka Okafor and members of his campaign team.
Udodeme in his remarks described Uba as one of the brightest candidate in the race, saying is eminently qualified to govern the State.
He said: “Senator Uba has, besides coming to the aid of Ohanaeze Ndigbo whenever he is beckoned upon, also impacted positively in the lives of our people, especially businessmen who were caught in the web of favourable policies.
“Senator Uba during the President Obasanjo era was a very effective go between for our people, and I can vouch that given a similar opportunity he would exactly the same, if not more,” Udodeme said.
Also speaking, the National Vice President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, noted that the zoning arrangement and understanding reached for the governorship seat by the people of Anambra State through the stakeholders remained sacrosanct and should be respected by all and sundry.
“When we were pushing the zoning arrangement many did not trust us, but I am happy that today, almost all the leading candidates hail from Anambra South Senatorial zone,” Okeke-Ogene said.
