The All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate in the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State, Nicholas Ukachukwu, has expressed confidence that the party has the right team to win the polls.
Ukachukwu stated this at the inauguration of the campaign council ahead of the election, which was marked by the defection of four sitting members of the State House of Assembly to the party.
DAILY POST reports that the defectors include Hon. Augustine Ikedoji (Nnewi North, YPP), Hon. Patrick Okafor (Onitsha North, LP), Hon. Paul Oti (Orumba North, LP), and Hon. Patrick Udoba (Anambra West, APGA).
Addressing members of the campaign council, Ukachukwu said APC had assembled credible men and women to drive the party’s mission.
“When God wants to deliver people, He sends men and women. With the people in this campaign council, Government House Awka is possible.
“But we cannot win without hard work. From the developments in our party, it is clear to me that APC will take over Anambra. Yet, faith without work is in vain,” he said.
He said that his administration would declare a state of emergency in agriculture and other key enablers of development. He pledged to prioritize industrial growth, security, and infrastructure.
