The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress in the 2023 Governorship election in Enugu State, Chief Uche Nnaji has unveiled a former governorship aspirant of the party in 2019, Barr George Ogara as his running mate.
Ogara was unveiled on Sunday by the Party’s guber candidate Chief Uche Nnaji (Nwakaibeya) at the APC Zonal Secretriat in Enugu.
Presenting Ogara to the party Nnaji said the process towards making the choice was very tortuous as there were several other contenders who were also eminently qualified to take the position and explained that the process resulted to the late presentation of the running mate.
According to him, “it was not easy because of the quality I was seeking. Knowing my quality, I needed a good match, as the best candidate must get the best Deputy.”
Chief Nnaji disclosed that after his emergence as the party’s standard bearer, he, alongside the leadership of the party in the state embarked on a thank you tour of local government areas of the state stressing that the tour offers opportunity to unravel the challenges of the people.
“the tour helped us to know the people on ground and those who are Abuja politicians. We discovered so much,” he said.
Responding, the Deputy Governorship candidate, Barr. George Tabugbo Ogara said he was overwhelmed by support of the party and his choice as running mate and promised to remain loyal to the party while discharging his duties.
“All I need to do is to be loyal to the party. To support our candidate Hon. Nnaji to bring the best to Enugu State. I will give attention to all minute details of our candidate that will ensure victory at the polls.
“The tour of the various Wards has opened our eyes; we have seen where immediate attention is required.
“The duty is one I can perform without complain. I will do it and give my best. I will also give account to the party at the right time.
Also speaking, the State Chairman of the APC Barr. Ugochukwu said APC parades the best governorship candidate amongst all contending political parties in Enugu State.
He said the choice of Ogara as perfect as it that matches the quality guber candidate of the party.
Agballa described the new APC in Enugu State as work in progress stressing that the party is working hard to reconcile with aggrieved members who are reconcilable.
He however, noted that others who could not be reconciled now, will be integrated when the party takes over the Enugu Government House in 2023.
