Former NPA boss, Prof Okey Chidolue joins senatorial race
Former NPA boss, Prof Okey Chidolue joins senatorial race
www.odogwublog.com reports that the
former Executive Director of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) Prof Okey
Chidolue has joined the race to represent Anambra South senatorial zone
at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
The
former NPA boss made his intention known yesterday during an
interactive session with the executive council of Nnewi North local
government area of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
Prof
Chidolue pointed out that he is founding member of APGA and that he was
a Special Assistant to the late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu
noting that he played a pivotal role of resuscitating and revitalization
of the party which went comatose immediately after the 2014 Anambra
guber polls.
The
aspirant said that it is imperative for Nnewi community which is the
home of APGA by all standard to be represented in the senate since
senate is the next important position in party politics after the office
of the governor.
Prof
Chidolue, a forensic accountant and a marine lawyer noted that he is the
best qualified among the five to six aspirants jostling for the
position based on qualification and experience.
He
used the occasion to debunk the claims in some quarters that the
Anambra state governor, Chief Willie Obiano has promised to give the
APGA ticket to a certain aspirant for the plum job noting that the
governor who is very responsible would not contemplate such idea.
The
widely traveled aspirant declared that if free level playing ground is
provided during the APGA primary to pick the standard bearer, he would
emerge victorious and eventually win the election because he has paid
his due in the party.
The
aspirant said he decided to declare his intention to contest in his
ward because charity must of necessity begin at home and that he would
eventually visit all the one hundred and nineteen wards in Anambra South
senatorial zone to sell his aspiration to them.
The
chairman of APGA in Nnewi North local government area, Chief Chike
Aguncha said that the aspiration of Prof Okey Chidolue is a welcome
development and that he is the first to officially notify the party in
the council area of his intention.
