The Deputy Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the November 8 Governorship Election in Anambra State, Senator Uche Ekwunife, has warned Governor Soludo to get ready to hand over power as Anambra State Government House is not his birthright.
Senator Ekwunife stated this while addressing party faithful in her country home, Nri, Anaocha Council Area of the state where she described the administration of the Governor as an abysmal failure in all-round development and security of life and property.
‘Soludo and I are not at war, what is happening is that what he is currently holding is what we want. The Constitution of Nigeria made it a four-year term for every elected governor. And if you do well, you will be re-elected but in the case of Soludo, it is obvious he has lost touch with governance and that is why APC has presented a veritable platform for the people of the state to reclaim their state from APGA misrule.
‘The governor, rather than concentrate on positive governance, has been going about crying like a baby, calling my name up and down and we are not losing sleep over his ranting. He has not done well to deserve a second term and that is why the state seems to be in autopilot for four years.
‘I make bold to say that Soludo was smart to have hurriedly parked into the uncompleted Anambra State Government House, which goes to tell his state of panicky mood of losing this election which is going to happen. But he has forgotten that government is a continuum and when one stops, another person takes over and that is why we presented a veritable alternative to Ndi Anambra.’
Also speaking during the programme, the former Minister of State, Science and Technology, Chief Henry Ikoh, described the Governorship Election in the state as very vital in order to connect the state to the mainstream politics of Nigeria and called for total and massive votes for the party and her candidates, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and Senator Uche Ekwunife.
Ikoh said the time for the party to clinch Anambra State had come with the massive mobilization of stakeholders across the state and in the country to support the party and ensure smooth victory in the November 8 Governorship Election.
