Anambra 2021: Ogbaru, Onitsha North & South stand still for Ifeanyi Ubah
Express staunch belief in YPP's open door revolution; say Ndi Anambra desire an Ifeanyi Ubah-led government for adequate security of lives and property.
Residents of Ogbaru, Onitsha North and South trooped out en masse on Wednesday to welcome Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate in the Anambra State 2021 governorship election.
Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, it could be recalled, had embarked on a tour of the state’s local governments to formalise his intention to contest in the election with the Ogbaru/ Onitsha North & South rally making it the eighth day of the exercise.
Our correspondent reported that the events of the past few days in Anambra State, since the Senator embarked on his declaration tour, have served as an eye opener to an emerging trend in the political dynamics of the state.
Ubah, a hitherto dark horse in the race for the gubernatorial election coming up on November 6 has suddenly emerged the topmost contender in the race.
The declaration train of the Distinguished Senator was met at the venues of the event in the three local government areas by frenzied crowds of party men and women as well as members of the various structures promoting the Ubah brand.
The displays of love were massive as the entrance by Senator Ubah attracted even passersby, both the young and old alike who joined in welcoming him to the various venues of the event.
In Atani, venue of the declaration tour for Ogbaru Local Government Area, various speakers took turns in eulogising the outstanding track records of the Distinguished Senator.
They announced their collective resolves to work towards bringing on board a Governor that they know and trust.
The delegation was welcomed in Onitsha by various youth and women groups who took turns in bringing messages of felicitations and support while assuring the Senator of their readiness to join in bringing about the Status Quo Change Message of hope that he is championing for Anambra State.
Addressing the massive crowd, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah said:
“The South East region is now in dire need of a leader as it tackles this emerging trend of insecurity in the region.
“Just as I was the only politician that came out during the ENDSARS protests to sue for peace from my people and they listened to me, because a clear conscience fears no accusation.
“I will also lead from the front by putting proactive measures and policies in place for the adequate security of lives and properties of our people and ensure that the Anambra of our dreams is achieved,” said Ubah.
As the train is poised to storm Anambra West and East today to wrap up the declaration tours of the 21 Local Government Areas, the Senator Ubah led YPP has so far delivered a loud statement of intent geared towards the attainment of victory in the November 6th polls .
