Candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Chris Ngige, has admonished the people of Enugwu Ukwu in Njikoka, LGA of Anambra State to rise and vote in a governor they can trust to deliver and improve their town based on pedigree, rather than a deputy governor they would merely claim.

Mr Ngige apparently referring to the running mate for one of the parties contesting next Saturday’s elections who hails from the town, told the crowd which followed his convoy after attending a burial ceremony in the town, that it was time the community took a clear position.

“The time has come for a useful climax in the longstanding political relationship we have enjoyed with this historical town and it is wise to carry it through to the end, so as to give value to all your previous sacrifices in the course of this journey,” he said.

Mr Ngige who spoke in both Igbo and English, told his audience that, when many towns in Anambra State did not know where they were going in terms of exposure, Enugwu Ukwu had cut its teeth in education exposure and industry in all spheres of human endeavour.

“It is too late in the day for anyone to come to Enugwu Ukwu and give them a standby generator because with your exposure you can agree with a governor who will perform and your town will be better, rather than associating your name with another government that would simply occupy space and dent your image,” he said.

Mr Ngige was accompanied by his wife, Evelyn Ngige, and former Anambra State commissioner, Charles Amilo, and a host of directors and members of his campaign team. He had earlier paid a condolence visit to the Nkwocha family at Urukpaleke Village Enugwu Ukwu, where he urged he family to take heart on the loss of Chief Mike Nkwocha, a distinguished politician and leading light of the town who passed on at the ripe age of 89.

Meanwhile , a pressure group in Anambra State, Anambra Democratic Vanguard, ADV, in a solidarity visit to the Ngige Campaign Office in Awka urged he candidate of the APC to ignore the distractions of the APGA which is doing its best in their own words to ‘take his eyes off the ball’.
