Supporters of the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah who represented Anambra South at the National Assembly, have collapsed their structure for a governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Paul Chukwuma.
The supporters under the aegis of Ikemba Front, a political pressure group under the party said after the death of Ubah who was their choice for the governorship position, they started searching for an aspirant that shares same ideals as the group and their former principal and decided that the man Chukwuma, was most suited for the job.
The 21 local government coordinators of the group who spoke during an endorsement rally in the home of Chukwuma in Umueri, Anambra East Local Government Area on Saturday, extolled Chukwuma for his plans for Anambra.
The aspirant while receiving the members said: “I salute the founders of Ikemba Front for their endorsement today. I remember that I was the only one who was in the race for governor before Ifeanyi Ubah came in.
“When Ikemba Front endorsed Ubah, I knew I had lost great politicians, but with the demise of Ubah, I’m happy today that you have endorsed me as your aspirant.
“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 percent done. With this endorsement I’m now more strengthened to continue this contest.”
Chukwuma added that his number one plan for the state is to bring back security, regretting that in Anambra both Reverend Sisters and Fathers are not spared by kidnappers, yet ”the governor does not have any clue of what to do”.
