Ex-LP Aspirant Emerges ADC Candidate For Anambra Guber

A former aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) for the November 8 Anambra State governorship election, Mr John Nwosu, has emerged as the candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the same election.

Nwosu replaced the party’s governorship candidate, a former chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, Comrade Patrick Obianyo, during the party’s governorship substitution primary election held yesterday in Awka, the state capital.

The returning officer of the primary election, Chief Anayo Arinze and the ADC’s national organising secretary, Ibrahim Suleiman, supervised the exercise which was also attended by a team of officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Awka.

Nwosu told the delegates and the other party stalwarts that what is driving his passion to become governor of the state is to enthrone good governance that would transform the state into its desired status.

He declared the if elected, his development blueprint would focus on seven pillars, namely: security, health, education, economy, agriculture, ICT and agriculture.

He bemoaned the state of insecurity in the state saying that the incumbent governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo and his administration had shown lack of capacity and vision to initiate measures that would guarantee proper security of lives and property.

He described the newly introduced security initiatives of the government as ineffective and a hurried one to score cheap political point just because the governorship election is around the corner and he (Soludo) wants to be re-elected.

The ADC governorship candidate rather asserted that any security initiative that could guarantee effective security in the state should be Information Communication Technology (ICT)-driven such that closed-circuit television cameras are installed at strategic locations to monitor and take record of every movement in and out of the state as well as within the state.
