By Chukwuka Ugokwe :
A Political Support Group, Ikemba Front, has endorsed the All Progressives Congress ( APC) frontline aspirant for Anambra State Gubernatorial election, Sir Paul Chukwuma.
In a colourful ceremony held at Umueri, Anambra East Local Government Area, the coalition group described Sir Chukwuma as the most credible of all the Governorship aspirants in the state.
The group emphasized that after the death of Sen Ifeanyi Ubah, who was their choice for the governorship poll, they decided to endorse the aspirant having understudied his capacity and pedigree.
The 21 local government coordinators of the group led by Dr Chukwudi Okoye who spoke during the rally highlighted his numerous contributions and articulated blueprint for the development of the state.
Various speakers pledged to intensify the mobilisation campaign to ensure he clinched the party’s ticket for the poll.
Receiving the group,the Aspirant said,“I have heard of many groups that are working for APC, but Ikemba Front stands out.
“Your endorsement is not one to be taken for granted by any aspirant. Everyone wants your support, and I am happy to be the one to get it.
“What we are saying is that we will win this election, both the primary and the main election. APC today is strengthened; all we need to do is to go out and start our mobilisation.
“With this support, my primary election is 50 per cent done. With this endorsement, I’m now more strengthened to continue this contest.”
Sir Chukwuma added that his priority is to bring back security, regretting that in Anambra, both Reverend Sisters and Fathers are not spared by kidnappers.
According to him, Anambra electorates would be proud of his administration if given the opportunity to govern the state.
“Our prayer point from today should be that APC must take over Anambra Government House come November 8th, 2025.
” My endorsement doesn’t come as a surprise because I started this process one year and one month ago.
” I am running for the number one position to rescue Ndi-Anambra from the trending insecurity, poverty and hunger. I am also in the race to connect Anambra State to the centre,” Chukwuma noted.
