Governorship hopeful, Chief Jude Ezenwafor, has stated that the process that produced him as the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the upcoming November 8, 2025 election in Anambra state was rancor-free and divine.
Chief Ezenwafor made this known when he received League of Anambra Journalists in Abuja, LAJA, who paid him a solidarity visit days after unknown gunmen shot at him in Abuja.
He said, though he wasn’t desperate for power, his vision to lead the state was essentially to provide a clear pathway for greater prosperity for the citizens.
The governorship candidate who has been in public service in various positions said, “My contest is not disruptive; it’s divine.
“When Peter Obi contested, someone came out from the Southern and Northern parts of Anambra state, same thing happened when Willy Obiano contested, people came from Central and South to vie for same position.
“Then, some years ago, when the incumbent governor contested, others from other senatorial zones and districts also were in the contest. I’m not desperate to become governor…”
On his vision to govern Anambra, the experienced politician cum property developer said, “My desire is for Anambra state to open up and become destination for heightened development. I’m certainly available to serve, it’s now left for Ndi Anambra to choose and send me so that they will enjoy clear dividends of democracy.
“We are ready to capture Anambra. Part of my vision is to make many people millionaires within a short time. This is not a mere political campaign as most are used to.
“My only desperation is for our state to be in order, nothing else. We sincerely need to salvage our state. It belongs to all of us. My tactics is to contest and win, then make the desired impact within a short while.”
Earlier, LAJA interim president, Amb. Ikenna Okonkwo of Blueprint Newspapers, said Anambra was in dire need of a leader who will relaunch the state to be amongst the leading lights in Nigeria and Africa in health, technology, education and massive infrastructural development.
Interim Secretary-General LAJA, Princess Ekwi Ajide, of Anambra Broadcasting Service and a veteran, Onyebuchi Ezigbo, of Thisday Newspapers, prayed God to grant Chief Ezenwafor speedy healing and recovery.
Ajide particularly informed that in a few weeks time, LAJA will partner media platforms to organise a governorship debate for all candidates standing for the election.
