Onunkwo: Why I Want To Be Anambra Governor

Chief Johnbosco Onunkwo, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared his intention to contest for the Nov. 6 governorship election in Anambra on the platform of the party.

Onunkwo said he was in the race to provide answers to the leadership question in Anambra assuring the party that he would serve the people above himself.

“Once the primary is free, fair and credible, I will work with the party as a strong party man, I have done that in the past.

“Anambra is craving for credible servant-leaders, the state is looking for a good man and I can assure you that Anambra is electrically aware,” he said.

Onunkwo said the APC controlled federal government had increased the viability of the party in Anambra and the entire South East through its physical infrastructure in the area and social welfare programmes for Nigerians.

He said at a personal level, he had been touching lives in many areas as a philanthropist and that his ambition was to serve people better.

Onunkwo is an indigene of Umuchu in Aguata Local Government Area and a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University.
