The senatorial hopeful of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, for Anambra Central Senatorial Zone, Hon. Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo, has rallied his supporters to brace up for an epic battle ahead of the party’s primary election.
Nwankwo stated this soon after scaling the hurdle of the APGA screening. This is coming as the leader of the party and Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has insisted on credible primaries, choosing Option A4 as the mode of election.
Nwankwo, while addressing his supporters, thanked the APGA Screening Committee for a thorough job, noting that APGA had been known for such impeccable standards.
He said: “I’m not new to my people, and my people are not new to me. I have lived most of my life among them and appreciate their problems. That was one of the chief reasons I set up the Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo Foundation years ago, through which I have touched many lives.
“I’m ready to do more if given the mandate, but what I’m saying is that all of you must brace up because the primary election will be a tough battle.”
Nwankwo is running for the APGA ticket alongside Amb. Jerry Ugokwe. They are seeking to represent Anambra Central Senatorial Zone, where the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Senator Victor Umeh, is the current representative.
