Former National Auditor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and an aspirant to the ticket of the party for next year’s governorship election in Anambra, Paul Chukwuma, has stated that Anambra has no laid down agreement on the rotation of power among the senatorial zones in the state for the governorship seat.
Chukwuma who spoke in his country home, Nneyi Umueri community, Anambra East LGA, yesterday during a media parley with journalists said the zoning pattern said to be operating in the state presently is entirely the arrangement of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), which the party created as it has perpetuated its ruling of the state in succession since 2006.
Chukwuma who disclosed that he has never joined APGA and has always been an APC chieftain since joining politics noted that his own party, the APC has no such power sharing formula in place, but is presently poised to take over power in the state during the next governorship election.
He noted that those pushing the zoning narrative as the election gets underway in the state were only doing that to hoodwink some sentimental politicians, noting that candidates from other zones have always contested election in the state during the governorship elections irrespective of where APGA may have decided to zone the governorship slot.
He bemoaned what he described as the terrible state of affairs in Anambra presently under Governor Chukwuma Soludo and said he possesses the clear vision of what the issues are in the Anambra polity and how to steer the state away from its present governance deficits.
He lamented that civil servants are presently not smiling in the state while security of lives and property are no more guaranteed.
He said traders and the organized private sector were being overtaxed in an inhuman manner while there is dearth of human capital development presently in Anambra.
“I’ve presented myself for the service of the people with a clear-cut blueprint on how to turn around the state in a positive light. My administration will do everything, including the provision of security within the ambit of the law shunning every element of nepotism and adopting a holistic approach to security issues in the state,” he stated.
