Ahead of the Anambra State governorship election slated for November 6, 2021, an aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Dozie Madu has said he is the candidate to beat in the election because of his blueprint on how to develop the state.
Madu, who picked his Expression of Interest Form yesterday at the headquarters of the APC in Abuja said as a seasoned politician, he knows what to do to uplift the lives of the people of Anambra state.
He also stated that he is a grassroots politician who is also loved by the people, saying that is his strength, contrary to insinuations that the presidency is behind him.
All the aspirants in the state are qualified, but I am more qualified. The party has done well in my local government than elsewhere in the state. For instance, the APC in 2018 had 3415 votes and in 2019 Presidential election the party got 6901 votes. The party has done absolutely great and many of those aspirants contesting against me can’t even deliver their wards.
I’ve been around politically; I was the National Chairman of Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), I was National Chairman of Independent Democrats; I was presidential candidate in the 2019 presidential election. Presently I am a member of the governing Council of the African Union Development Agency under the Presidency, he said.
The business man turned politician, while explaining more of what he intends to do differently from previous administrations, said his main attention will be in the area of infrastructural development.
If you visit my state you will discover that there is lack of infrastructure. I don’t want to go into talking of unemployment because when you have infrastructure, that will create employment because people will be needed to man those infrastructure, that is the first thing I want to do.
I want to tell you that most people that come out with seven agenda, 8 agenda, don’t do well when they become governor. I’m not here to talk but when I come back to submit my manifesto my people will follow me and will vote for me massively, he stated.
