Abia 2015: group endorses Anyim for governor

A group, the New Abia Movement, has adopted Dr. Nyerere Anyim for the 2015 governorship election in Abia State.

Speaking at the end of its meeting held in Aba, the chairman of the group, Mr. Onyebuchi Okorie, said that Anyim is the best aspirant.

He said that the APGA chieftain possessed the wherewithal and administrative qualities to effect the desired change in the state.

Stressing the need for a private sector governor, Okorie said: “We have assessed several aspirants for the position, but found Chief Nyerere Anyim fit to govern Abia state. He is a private sector person who boasts of a track record of achievements in all the endeavours he has found himself. So, we are of the view that private persons should be given the chance to govern the state.

“We have tried core politicians but they have continued to disappoint us. So, Anyim fits the bill. It is not a partisan thing. We carried out our survey on people of all political parties. We call on the people of the state to support his ambition in 2015.”

The group berated the PDP’s style of leadership stressing thatit has ruined the country.

The group expressed optimism that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would provide Nigerians the opportunity to experience a new style of leadership.

“We have lost faith in the PDP, they have been in power for years but the people have continued to wallow in abject poverty in the midst of wealth. It is clear that the salvation of Abia state and the country cannot come from the party.

“We are hopeful that the registration processes going on between INEC and APC will not be delayed. APC will give Abians and Nigerians the opportunity to taste good governance and enjoy the dividend of democracy to the fullest.” the group stated.
