No fewer than three political party factions that include the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressive Congress, (APC) and Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) have adopted the candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for Dunukofia/ Njikoka/ Anaocha federal constituency of Anambra state, Chief Chukwudi Oli, as their House of Representatives candidate, come 2027 election.
The supporters, all from Njikoka local government area declared their support for Oli during a consultative meeting they held with the APGA House of Representatives candidate’s campaign organisation held at Abagana yesterday.
Members of the campaign organisation headed by former chairman of Njikoka LGA as the Director-General (DG), George Ozor included the APGA candidate, Oli, APGA chairman in Njikoka LGA, Chief Onyenechi Ezeaso, Air Vice Marshal Ben Chiobi (rtd), Chief Chibuzo Oli, Chief Ogochukwu Egolum, among others.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the leader, Ozo Ejiamatu, and chairman, Mr. Onyenechi Ezeaso, said they decided to throw their support behind Oli following his proven passion and commitment toward the progress of the various communities within the federal constituency and humanity at large.
He said, “In this our group, some of us are members of the PDP, APC, NDC, and, other political parties. But we decided to come together, to support you, because we are convinced that by supporting you, we are working for ourselves.
“We know that you are going to work for the progress of DNA (Dunukofia/Njikoka/Anaocha federal constituency) when you get to the House of Representatives.
“We don’t want to allow selfish politicians who have been deceiving our people to win election in this federal constituency again, because they have deceived us enough.”
Also speaking, Ezeaso clarified that the group was not an APGA political group, adding that the support of the members for the party’s House of Representatives candidate in the federal constituency did not mean that the members of his group have adopted all APGA candidates.
Responding, Oli expressed gratitude to members of the group for trusting him, pledging not to disappoint them if elected.
He said his political mantra was anchored on “accountability, transparency, togetherness, and, touching lives”.
He vowed not to use his position to pursue personal gains if elected, but would deploy his capacity and influence to the development of the federal constituency while awaiting for the divine reward.
Oli also pledged to be guided by the philosophy of his mentor, the state-born popular oil mongul and philanthropist, Prince Arthur Eze, adding, “when elected the ordinary people in the federal constituency will breath fresh air, and, life made worth living for them.”
Chairman of the campaign organisation, Chief Ozor, and, chairman of APGA in Njikoka LGA, Hon. Chinedu Anakwe eulogised members of the group for the confidence they reposed in Oli.
“We know that this federal constituency election will be one of the toughest elections in Anambra state, but, because we know the capacity of your leader, Ozo Ejiamatu, and, some of you we have no doubt that the fight has been made a lot easier and our victory assured”, Ozor stated.
The APGA chairman in Njikoka described the support of members of the group as a source of great courage, and, moral boost for the party and the House of Representatives candidate, and, indeed, other candidates of the party in the area, including for the Senate, Hon Dozie Nwankwo.
