… Says I am anxious for your success
As the Anambra State Governorship election inches closer, President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday received the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 6, 2021 governorship election, Senator Andy Uba at the State House, Abuja.
Speaking at a brief ceremony which witnessed the handover of the party’s flag to Senator Uba, President Buhari said, “I am happy to formally welcome you. I certainly wish you the best of luck. I’m anxious for your success and will closely follow.”
The candidate was accompanied to the event by the Chairman, Caretaker and Convention Planning Committee of the party and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, Governors Gboyega Oyetola of Osun, Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Hope Uzodinma of Imo, who is also Chairman, Campaign Council, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Boss Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation and George Akume, Minister for Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.
Governor Mai Mala Buni said APC daily receives new entrants from Anambra State, citing the recent decamping of Senators Stella Oduah and Joy Emodi, adding that “Anambra is ripe for us, and we will work together for victory.”
In his remarks, Gov. Uzodinma, as Chairman of the Campaign Council, assured the President that the message of the Party would be taken to the people of Anambra, “which will translate to victory for us in November.”
He also thanked the President for making the job easier, “because of the integrity and honour you have in Nigeria. Your name opens doors for us, and lots of people come into our party today because of it.”
“By the grace of God, we will be successful,” Gov. Uzodinma concluded.
