A governorship aspirant in Anambra state, Sir Azuka Okwuosa has said that his interest to contest the November 6 gubernatorial poll was born out of his desire to provide true democracy and its dividends to the people of the state in line with the convictions of the late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Okwuosa who is vying for the exalted seat in the state under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he was mentored by the late Ikemba following his long association with him.
He further revealed that Ojukwu created an indelible mark of greatness and potentials in his life and political activities, insisting that he could not have achieved such feat without his (Ojukwu) mentorship who he served, learned from and followed till death.
