Nearly two weeks after the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) kicked off its national campaigns at the popular Dr Alex Ekwueme Square premises in Awka, Anambra state, the party's campaign Council for the Anambra South Senatorial zone has been inaugurated.
Performing the task at his Orsumenyi countryhome in Nnewi South Council of the state, the APGA senatorial candidate for Anambra South zone, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma) charged the party officials to remain steadfast, focused and committed.
Ukachukwu, a reputed industrialist and evangelist who was popularly elected at the keenly contested party primary held at the Ekwulobia township stadium in October said that time has come for the people of the zone to feel the positive impact of government.
The Campaign team comprising key present and past appointees of the state government, including the immediate past deputy governor-Emeka Sibeudu, legislators, party executives and stakeholders from the seven Local Government Areas constituting the senatorial zone were, according to him, to work assiduously to deliver all candidates of the party in the coming 2019 general election.
Assuring the team that APGA has all it takes to deliver more life-enhancing projects/programmes to Anambra citizens, the senatorial candidate pledged the full logistical backing of the party, all the candidates and their teeming supporters to facilitate their work and therefore charged them for undivided loyalty.
Ukachukwu reiterated that being from the wards and grassroots, they all know the voters as they are family members, neighbours, peers, age mates, friends, etc who they relate with and reach out to daily, live with and understand their idiosyncratic dispositions, hence know how best to approach them persuasively.
According to a member of the campaign council, Chief Chris Amah from Umunze in Orumba South LGA, the team was to tirelessly mobilize potential voters in a door-to-door evangelism fashion to ensure landslide victory for all APGA candidates, especially Ukachukwu in the forthcoming state/National Assembly polls.
