ONITSHA, Anambra, Nigeria – A group known as Ndigao United People’s Assembly, NUPA, has stated that they will follow one of the former governorship aspirants on the platform of People Democratic Party PDP in the Anambra state November 6 Dr. Goodwin Maduka to wherever he goes as a candidate.
The group urged Godwin Maduka, to get a suitable political party to contest the governorship election, because they believe in his goodwill to the people. Speaking to journalists in Awka Anambra state capital on Tuesday , the national leader of the group, Prince Bartho Igwedibia, said the group wanted Maduka to run because of his goodwill and track records.
According to him, Maduka has brought greater development to his community, Umuchukwu, in Orumba South LGA, which they want him replicate in Anambra, if elected governor.
“Our choice of Godwin Maduka was because of his track records. Maduka is qualified academically to lead Anambra as governor and he singlehandedly turned his community into a city of sort. He singlehandedly built court complex and quarters for judges, police stations, world research center, civic center, among many other public facilities in his community.
“He also built over two thousand houses for poor people in the state. He is the person that built St. Jude Pro-Cathedral, Immaculate Conception Church and Trinity Hospital, all in Umuchukwu, his home town. All these he did using his personal funds. It is our belief that Maduka is not seeking governorship position for monetary gains. His objective is to reposition the state by addressing infrastructural decay.
“NUPA beamed its search light on all the candidates gunning for the November 6 governorship election in Anambra, and agreed that Maduka will do well in the socio-economic development of the state,” he said. Igwedibia, said the group had to cancel conferment of grand patronship on Maduka, scheduled for last Saturday, because of unavoidable developments.
He also , said Maduka becoming the next governor of the state would be a big access for the progress of the state.
