In continuation of his consultation of members of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) across the State, Anambra Lawmaker, Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor has gotten the support of members of his party in Anambra East.
The Frontline APGA Governorship Aspirant who was in Aguleri, on Wednesday, 19th May, 2021, was received amidst cheers from Members of his party in Anambra East.
Speaking to party members, Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor said that as mark of respect to the grassroot leaders of APGA, he was in the local government to interact with all the wards and L.G.A executives of his intention to become the next Governor of Anambra State.
According to him, he believes that every member of the party especially executives at the ward level has the right to know and decide who will fly the party’s flag in the November governorship election.
He said that his ambition to replace Governor Obiano is largely on his desire to consolidate and build a Anambra that is economically viable, independent, secured, and advanced.
The former student leader, said that he does not only have the requisite experience to govern the state, but he has a practical and implementable plan that will transform the state.
On his plan for Anambra East, the Lawmaker said that although, Governor Obiano has done a lot in the infrastructural development of the area especially with Anambra Airport located, a lot needs to be done.
The Governorship Aspirant noted that apart from road infrastructure which is a peculiar challenge in every L.G.A, the airport which is close to agrarian areas in Anambra, is key to his quest to build an agro-economy to position the state in the national and global food markets, noting that the airport which is close to Onitsha will also trigger a lot of investments in the area, if the needed infrastructures are put in place.
He also noted that the local government will further be developed especially with the recent move by the Governor to get the area recognized for oil and gas production.
Soliciting for support, he appealed to potential delegates in the L.G.A, to consider him while voting in the June 23rd primary election.
Declaring support, members of the party who took turns to speak, promised that they will ensure that delegates from the local government will cast their vote for him.
