365Daily – One of the leading contenders for the governorship of Anambra State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Chidozie Nwankwo, has assured of victory for the party in the November 6 Governorship Election.
Speaking at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Monday, June 7, 2021, when he submitted his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms, he said the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is no match for the APC in the forthcoming election.
The foremost guber aspirant also said he was not perturbed about the mode of primaries the APC will choose for the Governorship primaries which comes up later this month.
Saying his records will speak for him, Nwankwo stated: “My reputation in Anambra State, having being the head of the biggest market in Onitsha, because Onitsha controls all the elite who are the decision makers in all the 177 communities.
“I have been a leader in Onitsha main market for 10 years. Within the 10 years of my reign, I brought a change that cannot be erased in 100 years going forward. I have been in the market and our popularity is indescribable.
“The legacy I left when I was the leader of the main market supersedes any influence APGA has in Anambra State.”
Dr. Nwankwo, who was accompanied by supporters from Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), also disclosed that he has a grand plan of ending insecurity in the state through agriculture development.
He said: “There can’t be absolute peace in Anambra State until a good leader gets to power.
“There will be a drastic change towards agitations. If you read my manifesto, I am going to single Anambra out to become the industrial hub of Africa and millions of teeming youths will not have time to demonstrate when they are employed.
“I have done businesses in seven countries of the world. I have been to Isreal about three times, I have been to Ethiopia with outstanding agricultural records. We are going to employ the best brains.
“Why people fail in agriculture is because they do not look for those with the pedigree, people with the records and experience to manage their entities. And that is why they failed.”
