RAYMOND OZOJI reports
The four lawmakers of the current eight legislature of Anambra State who recently joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) have given reasons they rejected the incumbent governor Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo and pitched tent with APC governorship candidate Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu.
The lawmakers who spoke to journalists in Awka, said they decided to rally round Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu because they believe very convincingly that the APC candidate is a better choice for the office of the governor and that no other person is more qualified than he is.
Paul Chukwuma Obu the lawmaker representing Orumba-North state constituency, who left Labour Party and found renewed hope in the APC, said they were in the APC to change the narratives because they believe that Anambra State needed better governance and administration.
Obu emphasized that they are determined to bring APGA down and place Nicholas Ukachukwu and Uche Ekwunife on the saddle because they believe that Anambra people have had enough of bad governance and maladministration.
Contributing, his Onitsha-North 2 counterpart Barr. Patrick Okafor, who abandoned LP and decamped to APC, corrected the wrong impression that Anambra is APGA land, describing it as false narrative as he noted that in the Nigerian political landscape, all the political parties have equal rights to contest in an election.
Okafor stated that, that a particular political party has been in power for far too long doesn't mean that other political parties can not give them a run for their money. That APC has come to give APGA a run for their money and that by the special grace of God, they would come out victorious in the election.
Onyekachukwu Augustine Ikedi of Nnewi- North state constituency, one of the four lawmakers who defected to Anambra APC, maintained that they would do anything and everything to ensure that Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu conquered Anambra State on November 8th this year, stressing that it is already a done deal and there's a no two ways about it.
On his part, Hon. Patrick Obalum Udeoba, the state house member representing Anambra-West state constituency, said he has found solace in the APC and that he would contribute his quota to make sure that APC wins in all the 326 political wards of the state.
