ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Enugu State chapter, Frank Nweke Jr, has charged citizens of Enugu State, both home and in the diaspora, to rise up and take back the state from the ruling People’s Democratic Party, (PDP).
The governorship candidate made this call during a consultative visit with the five autonomous communities in Ishi-Ozalla, Nkanu West Council Area of the State on Wednesday, 28 September 2022.
Nweke, Nigeria’s former Minister of Information, urged the people of Enugu State to understand the issues at stake and to see their support for APGA as a pursuit of a better standard of living for themselves and for their children.
He explained also, that the theme of his campaign, “Arise, Let’s Rebuild Enugu,” was carefully selected as a call for everyone to play a part in taking back Enugu from the claws of the PDP, who according to him, have delivered nothing but bad governance in the past seven years.
He said that the 2023 election is a fight for the collective progress of ndi Enugu and that he stands prepared in every kind of way to assist the people in bringing down a dysfunctional PDP structure that has held the state down.
Nweke also commissioned the new APGA Ward office in Ozalla, celebrating the local team for their commitment in seeing that APGA emerges victorious in March 2023.
On his part, Chief Chidozie Onovo, President-General of Okorouba Progressive Union, Ozalla, affirmed their desire to change the system of governance in the state come 2023.
He said that this would be the first real election in Enugu State as there had been no worthy opposition to PDP’s misrule until Frank Nweke Jr emerged as the candidate of APGA.
He assured Nweke of their support for him and their commitment to work for the establishment of good governance in the state.
