As a backdrop of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to Anambra State, a prominent Market leader in the State Chief Jude Nwankwo, also known as Jolity, has once more issued a piece of advice to the faithful of All Progressive Congress (APC) to quash their dream of taking over the helm of affairs in the government house at Agu Awka because according to him, APC cannot defeat the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the forthcoming governorship election in the State.
Speaking exclusively to TimesReporters, Chief Nwankwo who is the President General of Building Material International Market Association Ogidi and also the Patron of Anambra State Market Amalgamated Traders Association (ASMATA) stated categorically that Ndi Anambra are comfortably at home with the progressive performance of APGA under the present Governor Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, thus they don’t need to give chance to other platform to experiment other method of progressivism in the State.
According to him “Soludo has entrenched the progressive ideology of APGA and heightened the image of Anambra as the Light of the Nation with a superlative performance cutting across a tight security situation, massive development of infrastructure with road construction including dualization of roads for easy movement within the State and in the same vein changed the narrative in youth empowerment, in education and health sectors with free education in government schools and free antenatal service for women among other things”
He continued “What I am saying is that the second term of incumbent Governor Soludo is not just well deserved but also rest assured because looking at the projects commissioned by President Tinubu within the State capital alone coupled with what is going on all over the place in the State it is very clear that oppositions have no chance to smell the government house because they cannot defeat APGA in the forthcoming election, so my advice to the opposition political parties particularly the APC faithful is to quash their dream of taking over power because it’s not possible to defeat APGA”
He expressed the optimism that traders in the markets across the State will pull their voting strength behind APGA as according to him traders who are the predominant residents are the most beneficiaries of dividend of democracy under Soludo adding “we are the beneficiaries of good roads, our children are beneficiaries of Youth empowerment, free education, our wives are beneficiaries of free antenatal service as well as employment of teachers and medical personnel in the health sector among other things”
