Chuka who spoke with the New Telegraph in Awka said since the Mbadinuju administration, Ekwunife had been hoodwinking the people of the state and making fortunes from their commonwealth,noting however that the Anambra voters had become wiser this time and would pay the PDP candidate back in her own coins.
"Since the Mbadinuju administration this woman had held this state to ransom and she thinks she can fool the people all through her life.No, it's not possible. We're going to retire her politically this this time.If you follow her campaigns, you will see that she has no message for the people other than castigating Chief Victor Umeh in a manner unbecoming of a decent Igbo woman; in a manner unbecoming of a married woman:that shows her emptiness ", Chuka submitted.
The former NBA boss who is now the Director-General(DG), Victor Umeh campaign organisation maintained that Ekwunife,a two-time House of Representatives member had not won any election in the state before.
He said "recall that in 2007, when she purported to have won her first time to National Assembly, there was no eletions in this state. Andy Uba who was wielding excess powers in Aso Rock then under Obasanjo,came down here and selected those he wanted and apportioned them with elective positions and that was how Ekwunife went to the House of Reps that year.
"In 2011, when it became clear to her that she would be rejected at the polls,she abandoned the PDP and said she had discovered that the All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) was an Igbo political party,and hoodwinked the leadership of the party and she was given the party's ticket and because of the goodwill APGA was enjoying in the state, she climbed on the back of the party and went back to the National Assembly.Left alone, she is not electable."
When she contested for the governorship of the state in 2010,out of about a million votes cast in that year's polls, she could only score 8,200 votes,the DG stated.
The former NBA chairman said he was happy that the Abuja Court of Appeal had cleared Ekwunife to contest the senatorial poll,adding that with that development she would have no reasons to give for her massive failure awaiting her in the March 28 elections,adding that Umeh had reasons beyond the ordinary to be in the senate for his constituency, Anambra people and Ndigbo in general.
On the the postponment of the general elections, Chuka said "APGA was against the postponment of the polls before it was done, but now it has been postponed, there is nothing anybody can do about it than to work and plan along the new dates.
