Member representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo federal constituency Engr. Chris Azubogu has denied his nomination as a member of the Anambra PDP campaign council for Mr. Valentine Ozigbo.
Recall that during a campaign Council held on Sunday at Awka, Azubogu, Senator Stella Oduah and all other federal lawmakers from the PDP was listed as members of the campaign council, with a charge for all of them to deliver their constituencies for the PDP.
But Azubogu in a press release made available on Monday through his media team noted that the lawmaker has denied being consulted before his name was announced. “Engr Chris Emeka Azubogu’s attention has been drawn to the publication circulating on social media with the title: PDP unveil high-powered Anambra state governorship campaign council comprising Obi, Oduah, Udeh, Obiogbolu, Azubogu, Okwenna, others”
In the said publication, Engr. Azubogu was mentioned to be in charge of Anambra South Senatorial Zone campaign as Zonal Director of the Campaign. “We wish to state as follows, Engr. Chris Emeka Azubogu was not consulted before the said composition of campaign council and was surprised to see his name as the Zonal Director for the said Campaign.
“Let it be known that Azubogu had no input in the said campaign council, not even in the said zone he was mentioned to be in charge. “We wish to state that the quintessential lawmaker, otherwise called ‘Mr. Project’ is currently focusing on how to sustain efforts to bridge infrastructural gap through strategic engagements with all levels of Government, especially the Federal Government.
Hence, is seriously pursuing the completion of some of the following projects: Nnewi Industrial Park project, situated at Unubi/Akwaihedi/Uga; Oba/Amichi/Uga/Okigwe Road; as well as pressing home the need for Gas infrastructure and other key infrastructure that will help to stimulate growth”. “In view of these, Engr. Chris Azubogu therefore, wished to withdraw himself from the said campaign council to enable him focus on critical engagements that will protect the development interests of his constituents”.
