ONE of the pillars of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State and its immediate past national auditor, Dr. Paul Chukwuma, has vowed to elevate the party far and above any other political party in the state and indeed the entire Southeast geopolitical zone.
Besides organising regular seminars and interactive meetings at all levels of party leadership, Chukwuma disclosed his commitment to giving the APC an overwhelming support base, financial backing, motivation and confidence to ensure that no other party in the state stands in its way to victory in next year’s governorship election.
At well-attended consultative meeting with the party’s 326 Ward chairmen on Sunday, may 19 at his Umueri, Anambra East Council country-home, Chukwuma confirmed his interest in contesting for the election to unseat Governor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressive Grand Alliance(APGA).
The visibly excited party chieftain used the occasion to announce the donation of a brand new state secretariat, as well as three zonal offices and grassroots offices in the 326 electoral Wards, saying: “Henceforth, never again will APC be lost in the crowd or relegated to the background in the state.
“I have now provided a new state office, zonal offices and 326 Wards offices. I have also provided funds for regular monthly meetings for constant interactions among members.
“I insist that we all, as APC members, must be very proud of the party. We must have a distinct uniform that will always stand us out as APC members. We must wear it with pride, after all, we are the ruling party at the centre.”
Flanked by a Board of Trustee (BoT) member, Chief Ralph Okeke; State Chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike; a former member of the House of Representatives, Chief Ifeanyi Ibezi, and other party top brass in the state, Chukwuman also presented booklets for registration of members ahead the proposed e-registration exercise.
To ensure that the APC stays ahead of other political parties in the state, run in a purely different manner to win the coming governorship election, Chukwuma also announced his plans to organise regular seminars for the party leaders and select members across the state.
