The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Senator Chris Ngige, has flagged off his campaign for the November 16, governorship election in Anambra State.

Despite the early morning downpour, people trooped out to show their solidarity for Ngige with many of them carrying broom which is the symbol of the party.

Present at the campaign include the National Chairman of APC Chief Bisi Akande, the National Leader of APC Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ekiti State Governor Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Imo State Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomole , Hon. Raph Okeke, the popular Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwo (Muma gee),and many others.

Speaking at the rally, Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomole encouraged the people to vote APC in the governorship election for the desired change.

The Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi described Ngige as a tested and trusted servant of the people who performed excellently well during his first term in office.

“We, the eleven progressive governors of APC endorse Ngige as the man who would deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Anambra State. We don’t want charlatans,” Fayemi said.

In his address, Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha expressed his confidence in Ngige as someone who would do the wish of the people, not the wish of political godfathers.

“I know that all these candidates have godfathers who would be dictating for them. But Ngige has no godfather that will be dictating for him. He is contented with one car and one house, unlike other politicians that are bent on harnessing wealth .

“Anybody who must rule Anambra must not be those that they will be controlled from Abuja. Ngige will do the wish of Anambarians and alleviate peoples’ poverty by bringing the desired change." Okorocha said.

He urged the people to vote massively for Ngige and they should monitor their votes so as to ensure it counts.

While addressing the people, Senator (Dr) Chris Ngige promised that the will of the people shall be the hallmark of his administration if elected governor .

“Youth unemployment has increased the rate of crime in the state. We must be ready to sweep away robbers, kidnappers and other forms of insecurity away by providing job for Anambarian youths.

Ngige promised to beautify Awka, the capital of Anambra State, and other parts of the state with proper infrastructures like good roads, proper sanitation, good water scheme and International Airport.
