Paul Chukwuma, the Candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), has pledged to connect Anambra State to the centre if elected Governor in the November 8 poll.
He stated this in an interview with The RAZOR News Management Team at his Umueri country home.
Chukwuma expressed admiration for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies, particularly those aimed at empowering the youth.
He lauded the President for supporting youth through initiatives like the Student Loan Scheme and programmes promoting skills, employment, entrepreneurship, innovation, and social development.
He said,” If elected, I will work to connect Anambra State to the centre, leveraging President Tinubu’s policies to drive growth and development.
“The YPP’s ideology emphasizes youth participation in governance and policies promoting their growth and development,” Chukwuma said.
Describing himself as an “endemic progressive,” Chukwuma said he believes in the ideals of youth empowerment and development.
His decision to join the YPP was reportedly influenced by the party’s ideology, which aligns with President Tinubu’s vision for the nation’s youth.
“I believe in President Tinubu’s policies, especially those that focus on youth empowerment,” Chukwuma stated, adding “The YPP’s ideology resonates with me, and I’m excited to be part of a party that shares my passion for progress and development.”
Chukwuma’s running mate, Uzu Okagbue, is also a young and vibrant member of the YPP.
Together, they represent a new wave of leadership promising to bring fresh perspectives and ideas in Anambra.
In a dramatic move, Chukwuma recently abandoned his governorship bid under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and tendered his resignation from the party, citing irregularities during its primary election in early April.
