Youths of Anambra State under the auspices of Youths For Credible Democrats Of Nigeria (YCDON) has maintained that the former managing director of Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency, Chief Jude Emecheta, is the most suitable to fit into the big shoes left by late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, and also offer quality representation that Anambra South and Anambra State is yearning for.
National Coordinator of the group, Prince Okeke Chinemelu Godwin (Esq), said that among several aspirants contesting from different party platforms to replace late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, only Dr. Emecheta has the “requisite character, charisma and compassion to give Anambra South the best representation.”
On the occasion of 2024 end of year party organized by the youth group in Ekwulobia, on Tuesday, December 17, Okeke was asked by journalists to say the opinion of his group regarding who replaces late late Senator Ubah, and he said, “Chief (Dr) Jude Emecheta (Nwachinemelu), with his impressive qualifications, and experiences, is the most ideal person to represent Anambra South senatorial district at the national assembly.
“Chief Emecheta is a highly educated personality, a seasoned politician, and complete party man. He possesses exceptional qualities that make him an outstanding leader. He is an outspoken advocate. He possesses extensive grassroots network and experience in serving the ruling party, the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), in various capacities, which make him the right man for the job.”
Okeke also noted that among Emecheta’s many political experiences, he was a committee member that drafted blueprint on tourism for Nigeria in 1992, and also successfully advised and managed strategic political decisions, including helping to set up Signage and Advertisement Agency in Anambra State.
Late Ifeanyi Ubah, according to Okeke, achieved a lot as a senator; including sponsoring a bill for the establishment of the South East Development Commission, which the five Southeastern states are enjoying presently. He, therefore, urged the APGA party and the people of Anambra South to look beyond sentiment and money, by electing Senator Ubah’s successor in a person that will work – not a bench wormer.
He said, “Emecheta’s resilience, exceptional character and unwavering commitment to leadership, and passion for progress makes him a dependable ally and a driving force for positive change. As a respected political leader, his passion for the well-being of others is truly inspiring.
“Presently, APGA, and of course, people of Anambra South are availed the opportunity to choose light over darkness. Everyone is aware that moneybags are also on the parade for the senatorial position, and the temptation to choose money over competence and character is high. Despite that, we believe Anambra South could still do the right thing.”
