By Tony Okafor, Awka

The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the Anambra Central Senatorial District, Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo, has called on his supporters to intensify mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election after emerging victorious in the party’s primary election.

Nwankwo, who secured a landslide victory in the primary held on Saturday, polled 41,586 votes to defeat his sole challenger, Jerry Ugokwe, who garnered 1,310 votes.

Addressing jubilant supporters shortly after the exercise, the APGA standard-bearer described the victory as the beginning of a bigger political journey and urged party faithful not to relent in mobilising support for the main election.

“Today, we have taken the first step in our journey to Abuja. You have demonstrated your love for me and your confidence in my capability. I do not take this for granted,” Nwankwo said.

“But I want to tell you that a far bigger battle lies ahead. Let us go out once more and conquer so that we can secure a better future for ourselves and our children,” he added

The former lawmaker also stressed the need for political harmony between elected representatives and the Anambra State Government, insisting that the state required leaders who would work in synergy with the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo to deepen development.

According to him, “Anambra does not need distractions. We need to elect people who understand the vision of our governor and will work with him, not fight him. Our state does not need that.”

Nwankwo further pledged to offer quality representation if elected into the Senate.
“I am presenting myself for service. I will not disappoint. Let’s go and finish the job,” he told supporters.
