As the race to Agu Awka government house continues, one of the leading aspirants in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chidozie Nwankwo, has said his popularity and track records in Anambra will collapse the ruling party in the state.
Nwankwo stated this while addressing
Newsmen after submitting his expression of interest and nomination forms at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Monday. He charged the people of Anambra to consider those with proven reputation in position of leadership.
“My reputation in Anambra state having been the head of the biggest market in Onitsha, Onitsha controls all the elites that 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 to come. I have been in the market and our popularity is indescribable. The legacy I left when I was the leader of the main market supercedes any influence APGA has in Anambra state.”
Responding to the question on what he would do differently if given opportunity to lead the people of Anambra, he said: “I am a catalyst throughout my life. I have always brought change to whatever I do. My records show that in every field of human endeavors I have always engaged myself I have brought changes not only in Nigeria but across the world.”
The business Mogul went further to explain how he intends using agriculture and other initiatives to solve the problem of insecurity in the state.
“Can I be honest with you? There has been absolute peace in Anambra state, until a good leader gets to power, there will be a drastic change towards that agitation. If you read my manifesto, I am going to single Anambra out to become the industrial hub of Africa, and millions of teaming youths will not have time to demonstrate when they are employed.
I have done businesses in 7 countries of the world. I have been to Israel about three times, I have been to Ethiopia with outstanding agricultural records. We are going to employ the best brains. In all my companies, I have always partnered with the best of the people in the world. Why people fail in agriculture is because they don’t look for those with the pedigree. People with the records and experience to manage their entities.
On consensus candidate, Nwankwo said the party knows what to do and how to do it
“The party knows the rules and regulations. And I will want the party itself to decide the model or template to use to manage the coming primary”.
