A female erudite professor, Lillian Orogbu, has emerged as the running mate to the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the election in Anambra State holding in November.
The Dean of the Faculty of Management, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, will be flying the party’s flag with the governorship candidate, Chuma Umeoji.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed their candidature in the list of candidates published at the end of the submission of the personal details of candidates by all the registered political parties participating in the November election.
With the development, the electoral body has sealed the fate of a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Charles Soludo, who emerged in a parallel primary organized by a faction of the party.
It is expected that with this development, all stakeholders of the party, including the Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano; Soludo, and others will rally around Umeoji and support him to win the forthcoming election.
Umeoji will be flying the party’s flag with his rich political experience while his running mate will be complimenting him with her deep experience in the academic.
Obiano should be rest assured that he has a worthy potential successor who will sustain his legacies and uphold them in Umeoji.
He should therefore support the governorship candidate and his running mate to succeed in the election
