A group under the umbrella of Concerned Stakeholders in Anambra South Senatorial district of Anambra State has urged the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that the former Chairman of Nnewi North Local Government Council of Anambra State and erstwhile Commissioner of Works and Transport Anambra State,
Hon. Sir Azuka Okwuosa (Chinyelugo Oraifite) picks the party’s ticket to replace the late Sen Ifeanyi Patrick Uba in the senate, saying that he has all it takes to defeat other candidates in the forthcoming rerun by-election in the area.
It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is billed to hold an election on August 16th to fill the vacant senatorial seat following the demise of Senator Ifeanyi Patrick Uba.
In a statement signed by Dr Eugene Okechukwu on behalf of the group, they said, “We have looked around and checked the profile of most of the aspirants looking for the job and have found Hon. Azuka as the best to represent Anambra South people in the Senate.
“We are grateful to entire people of Anambra State for working towards ensuring that an Anambra South man emerged as governor of the State in the name of Prince Dr. Nicholas Ukachukwu (ikukuoma Anambra) , so it is a great plus for the Anambra South people to have an accomplished business man and philanthropist in the person of Azuka to occupy the vacant seat.
“As a former Chairman of Nnewi North t and Commissioner in the state, he has the experience and the name to deliver victory for the APC in the forthcoming by-election. Anambra South needs development and people that can give us the desired dividends of democracy and with the antecedents of Hon Azuka Okwuosa both as LGA chairman where he dealt with the grassroot and a Commissioner in the state Executive Council we believe Anambra South will get to the promise land with him as a Senator.
“This is not the time for experiment, this is not the time for sentiments, we are appealing to the leadership of the APC and members of the APC in Anambra South to give Hon. Sir Azuka Okwuosa the ticket of the party and we can assure you that the entire Anambra South will vote APC in the coming senatorial by-election.”
