Ahead of the November 18 governorship election in Anambra State, a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Osita Chidoka, has declared that the state deserves the best.

In a statement issued on in Awka, the state capital, Chidoka who is a governorship aspirant under the United Progressive Party (UPP), welcomed last Wednesday’s verdict of the Supreme Court on the leadership tussle that confronted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“While we sincerely congratulate the PDP for this development, we do hope that this time around, they will leverage on the opportunity to present their best to face the people in the November 18, 2017 Anambra governorship election.

“We in the United Progressive Party (UPP) have already started our preparations and we are working hard to ensure that we present our best for the election because ndi Anambra deserve only the best.

“Already, the UPP has proven to be one political platform that can deliver the wishes and aspirations of the Anambra people; a fact that informs its soaring grassroots popularity in all the electoral wards across Anambra state, as the platform that genuinely offers them a voice and where their interests only, drive the policies and ideology of the party.

“The time has therefore come for the political class to jettison all unnecessary anti-people and selfishly motivated political crisis and focus only on presenting credible options for the people to make their choice in the election.

“It is on this note that we in the UPP are desirous of a clean, robust and issue-based contest that affords the citizens the opportunity to make informed decisions at the polls. In this election, the verdict lies solely with the people; every political party must therefore work hard to present its best and brightest to face the electorate at the polls.”
