Anambra guber: Group pledges support for Uba’s candidacy

A group, called Anambra All Progressives Congress (APC) Media Frontier, says it will work for the victory of the party’s candidate, Sen. Andy Uba, in the Nov. 6 governorship poll.
The Coordinator of the group, Mr Ikemba Iyke-Oliobi, said this at a news conference in Awka on Monday.

Ikemba Iyke-Oliobi lauded the peaceful conduct of the June 26 primary election of the party and congratulated Uba on his emergence as the party’s standard bearer.
He said although the exercise did not go down well with some aspirants, the good of the party should not be sacrificed.
Iyke-Oliobi called for reconciliation amongst the aggrieved members in order to build a strong support for Uba.

“APC Media Frontier notes that this is an unusual time in Anambra, with every major political party having internal issues regarding the process and outcome of their primaries.
“But we are mindful that we stand a better chance of winning.

“APC must manage the fallout of the primary election with care, maturity and humility.
“Anambra State Working Committee of APC has also congratulated Sen. Uba and promised to work with him to reconcile all the aggrieved members in the interest of the party.

“It is, therefore, in keeping with the spirit of unity and urgent need for total reconciliation within the Anambra APC family that we extend our congratulations to Uba,’’ Iyke-Oliobi said
He said the group was committed to doing everything possible to bring about genuine transformation in the state by taking the APC message of hope to all the nook and cranny of Anambra.

“We will bring on board an APC government that will truly make Anambra a shining light in Nigeria.
“We, therefore, appeal to our members to embrace the reconciliatory efforts being championed by the party and focus on its survival.

“We also seek the understanding, commitment and wisdom of all members of the party at this critical period so that we can collectively come out as one big, formidable and united family,’’ Iyke-Oliobi said. (NAN)
