The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
published the names of gubernatorial candidates in Imo state.
Off-cycle elections are expected to be held in Imo, Bayelsa
and Kogi states on November 11.
INEC released the list of affirmed candidates on Friday.
Dumebi Ifeanyichukwu, director-general of new media, Samuel Anyanwu campaign council, said the list proved that the PDP candidate is equipped for the task ahead.
He asked Imo residents to anticipate a breath of fresh air,
adding that Anyanwu would keep to his promise of restoring security to the
state.
“This goes a long way to prove that our governorship
candidate, Sen Samuel Anyanwu, is well prepared for the task ahead,”
Ifeanyichukwu said.
“While other guber candidates in the state are yet to pick
their running mates, the PDP governorship candidate did not only forwarded the
details of his running mate, Rt Hon Jones Onyereri, PhD but has set up a
manifesto/strategic communication committee charged with the responsibility of
articulating a people oriented program for his administration.
“Soonest, Imo will
have a breath of fresh air across the state. Sen Samuel Anyanwu/Rt Hon Jones
Onyereri are ready to make Imo safe again.”
Anyanwu became the sole candidate in the guber race
following the withdrawal of other aspirants including Emeka Ihedioha, former
governor of Imo.
Ihedioha said his decision to withdraw from the race is to
ensure that there is unity in the state chapter of the party.
Anyanwu is expected to challenge Hope Uzodimma, governor of
Imo, who is seeking reelection on the platform of the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
