Anambra Deputy Governor Dr. Nkem Okeke has declared that electing All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship candidate, Senator Andy Uba, come November 6 will solve problems in the State.
Okeke dumped the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the (APC) on Thursday.
He described the emergence of Uba as the party’s gubernatorial candidate as the best thing that ever happened to the State in the last few years.
Describing the APC flag bearer as one whose wealth of experience surpassed that of all the other candidates, Okeke stated that he had implicit confidence in his capacity to reintegrate Anambra into the mainstream of national political reckoning.
He spoke at the weekend during a dinner party hosted on his behalf at residence of Senator Uba following his switch from APGA to APC.
Obiano’s deputy said: “All over Anambra, and indeed the South east region, the dominant complaint is the feeling of alienation by our people in the affairs of our country.

“And when you are so challenged, do you further go into your cocoon, or do you seek accommodation and understanding from your other compatriots?
“For me, the Nigerian project is bigger and desirable than the craving of any individual, or component part of the country.
“We must all sit as equals, on the table of brotherhood, to negotiate the needs and aspirations of all our people, including the Southeast.”
Seemingly taking a swipe at those who seek to downplay the essence of his defection to the APC, Okeke pledged to offer “total support” towards the emergence of Uba as Governor.
