Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has declared his support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate, John Nwosu, in the upcoming Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November 8. Nwosu is contesting alongside his running mate, Ndubisi Nwobu.
Gatekeepers News reports that in a statement shared on X by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, on Saturday, Atiku urged voters in Anambra to use the election as a chance to bring an end to what he described as years of ineffective governance.
He wrote, “The Anambra State governorship election next weekend is one in the number of off-cycle elections according to the country’s election timetable.”
“But, rather than being like any other, the election to elect the next governor of Anambra State on November 8 offers a unique opportunity to end the era of poor governance in the state, in addition to ensuring that the ruling All Progressives Congress does not get the chance of practicing its notoriety of snatching and running away with the mandate of the people.”
Atiku called on residents to unite behind the ADC ticket, describing Nwosu and Nwobu as visionary leaders capable of steering Anambra toward economic progress and social stability.
He added, “The election next weekend calls our consciousness to a moment when we must rally round the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Nwosu Chima John and Nwobu Geoffrey Ndubisi, to lead Anambra State to a new era of prosperity and economic stability.”
The ex-VP further encouraged citizens to participate actively and mobilize wide support for the ADC, emphasising Anambra’s importance in Nigeria’s political and economic development.
He said, “Anambra is a place with so much good history about our great country. I believe that yet again, Ndi Anambra will open the chapter of a new beginning in Nigeria where the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would bring lasting prosperity, peace, and stability to our country.”
