As political parties prepare for their primaries on April 5 to elect candidates for the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State, one of the aspirants in All Progressives Congress (APC), Sir Paul Chukwuma, has urged delegates to select a candidate that can lead the party to victory.

In an open letter to the delegates, Chukwuma stressed the significance of their role in shaping the future of Anambra State, adding that their decision is such that will impact not only on the APC, but also on the state’s future prosperity.

"This election is not just a selection of a candidate, but a pivotal moment that will define the direction Anambra will take in the years to come", he stated.

Chukwuma described himself as the candidate best equipped to steer the APC to success, urging delegates to look past transient promises and distractions in making their choice.

He also emphasized his long-standing commitment to the APC, noting his dedication as a former Zonal Youth Leader and National Auditor. These positions, he added, enabled him to contribute significantly to the party’s development in the state.

He said: “I have stood with this party from the beginning—not because of what it offers me, but because of what I know it can offer the people of Anambra State.

I have earned the trust and respect of our grassroots. With this broad support base, I am confident our party will march into the November elections united, energized, and poised for victory."

He compared his loyalty with other politicians who, according to him, had frequently switched parties for personal gain and positioned himself as a steadfast and reliable choice for APC.

Chukwuma also recalled the efforts he made to strengthen APC in Anambra State over the past three years, including forging connections with party members, executives, and stakeholders across the 21 local government areas of the state.

He believed that his broad support base within the grassroots will provide the necessary momentum for a successful electoral campaign.
