“I believe the people of Anambra state will get the government they deserve if they turn out boldly to vote for such a government,” said Mr Nwosu.

John Nwosu, an aspirant in the November 8 governorship election in Anambra, says he will support any coalition that will stop the reelection of Governor Charles Soludo.

Mr Nwosu, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party, said this while speaking to journalists in Awka on Monday.

He said Anambra was going through its worst government since the fourth republic and needed redemption, even if it took a coalition of people ready to provide a better deal for the people.

Mr Nwosu said the development in Anambra was not commensurate with the increase in resources accruing to the state.

The politician said, “The new infrastructure the government claims to have built are hardly commensurate with the revenue the state has garnered in three years. Focusing on infrastructure at the expense of peace, security and quality of life is counterproductive.

“In fact, talks about coalition are ongoing. The common denominator is the collective will to bring this disastrous administration to an end.”

Mr Nwosu added, “Anambra’s interest supersedes any personal interests or ambitions. If it will take a coalition of like minds to stop Gov. Chukwuma Soludo and his cabal, so be it.

“I am ready to be part of that coalition. We must all get involved in rescuing Anambra.”

Mr Nwosu said he was confident that the 2025 election would be free and fair and that the masses are now aware enough to make the right choice.

“I believe the people of Anambra state will get the government they deserve if they turn out boldly to vote for such a government.

“There will only be one LP candidate after the April 5 primaries. If it is me, I will expect my fellow aspirants to rally around and support me. If it is someone else, I will do the same,” Mr Nwosu explained.
