The Action Alliance (AA) has elected Awka community leader, Ozo Jeff Nweke, as its governorship candidate for Anambra governorship election.
Ozo Nweke emerged as the party’s candidate in the AA gubernatorial primary held at Jessie Hotel, Awka, on Thursday, after scoring a total of 58 votes to defeat two other aspirants, Mrs. Amarachukwu Ekwunife Obiora and Mr. Michael Enemou, who scored 8 and 6 votes respectively.
Speaking shortly after announcing the result, the chairman of the congress committee, Hon. Chigioke Onyekaonwu, said that AA was positioned to win the November 5 election, given its popularity, manifestoes, and motto centered on safeguarding human lives.
Onyekaonwu noted that Anambra needs a capable man like Jeff Nweke to provide adequate security, infrastructural development, and an enabling environment for businesses to thrive in the state.
In his acceptance speech, Ozo Nweke assured that, if elected, his administration would prioritize employment to end the lingering unemployment challenge currently ravaging the state.
Nweke thanked the party leadership, particularly the delegates, for electing him to fly the party’s flag in the November 5 gubernatorial election.
The election, conducted under Option A4, also witnessed the presence of INEC officials, security agencies, and the media.
