Ngige Kick Starts Campaign Today..Tinubu ,Others Expected

The All Progressives Congress’ (APC’s) governorship candidate in the November 16 poll in Anambra State, Senator Chris Ngige, will launch his campaign today.

APC chieftains are expected to attend Ngige’s campaign launch, which is holding at the Holy Trinity Ground, Onitsha.

The Labour Party’s (LP’s) standard- bearer, Ifeanyi Ubah, launched his campaign over three weeks ago at the same venue.

Ngige came up with his manifesto of 12-point agenda in Awka at the weekend.

The senator, who promised free primary and secondary education and 50 per cent reduction in school fees in the Anambra State University, said he was coming back to complete his unfinished projects.

APC’s campaign launch has created fears among supporters of other parties.

It was learnt that Imo, Osun, Edo and Nasarawa governors will attend the event.

Others expected are the Interim National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, a National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, senators and members of the House of Representatives.

Speaking at Awka, the Chairman of Ngige Campaign Organisation, Chief George Muoghalu, said the party was ready to receive the APC bigwigs.

He said: “The event will take place on Tuesday at the Holy Trinity Ground in Onitsha. Our national leaders will be in attendance. We are not leaving any stone unturned.”

Ngige’s campaign office, opposite Anambra State Government House, Awka, was a beehive of activities at the weekend.

Muoghalu and members of the campaign team from the Southeast put finishing touches to the programmes and Ngige briefed reporters on his 12-point agenda.

The launch was earlier scheduled for October 3, but was postponed to enable guests from other geopolitical zones get prepared.
