The Anambra State Governorship aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Senator Andy Uba has described the current administration of Chief Willie Obiano as one lacking in direction and tangible development.
The lawmaker made the statement while addressing stakeholders at the APC ward Chairmen meeting held at Uga in Aguata L.G.A of the state.
The Distinguished Senator stated that vision and direction is key to any meaningful development in the society, a major ingredient he reckoned is missing in the current administration.
Andy Uba disclosed further that if elected as Governor, he would run with a clear-cut vision to solely improve lives and uplift the state from its underdevelopment.
“When you build industries, farms and other necessary infrastructure, you inadvertently creat jobs. When you create jobs, you reduce crime and when you reduce crime, you improve lives and add more value and quality to the people; when all of these happen at the grassroot level, the state as a whole is uplifted and repositioned “. Andy Uba said.
In a passionate appeal to move Anambra forward, the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial district emphasized the need for grassroot development which he said means empowering people who cannot just stand on their own but also raise armies of financially viable society through capacity building.
While applauding Andy Uba on his remarks, some of the participants present at the meeting raised concerns over security challenges and short supply /or authenticity of election materials such as voters register, voters’ card, ballot paper etc which they opined may in one way or the other hamper the expected result at the primery polls.
In his response to the above, SenatorAndy Uba reassured the people that the election will be conducted in a very peaceful manner.
“As I speak now, talks are on-going to put in place all the necessary sacurity measures. Your safety is important to me so don’t be afraid. On the election day come out and vote because it is your right. As for the election materials, I will make sure they are adequately provided and it will come directly from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) because that is the only authentic election body”. He said.
The Anambra State Governorship aspirant while thanking the people for their support on the journey so far also reminded them of the need to stay focused on wining the primaries first which he said is the all important step to unseating the incumbent governor – Chief Willie Obiano.
