Anambra Guber: Hause Community Endorses Candidate of AA

Ahead the November 8 Anambra governorship election, the Hausa community in Anambra State has declared support for the candidate of the Action Alliance, Ozo Jeff Nweke, to emerge as Governor Charles Soludo’s successor.

Alhaji Hussaini Haruna, leader of the community, made the declaration while speaking with newsmen during the unveiling of Jeff Nweke as flag-bearer of AA in Awka, the state capital.

According to him, Nweke, more than any other gubernatorial candidate in the race, listens to and values non-indigenous people as an integral part of his community.

He said, “I have known Jeff Nweke since childhood. He is of my age. I was born and brought up in Awka, so I know him very well. Today, I am the happiest person that Nweke is a candidate for governorship in the coming election. The Hausa community in Anambra shall use our time and money to work for him.

Continuing,”He is very free, very open to everyone. When you call him at any time of the day, he will respond. Yes, I am saying it. My name is Hussaini Haruna. I am an APGA supporter before now. But today, our own man is here, running for governorship. We shall support him.” Haruna declared

Haruna emphasized that security is paramount in every society, recalling a specific security threat that happened to his people in Awka when he travelled to the north on a business trip.

He recalled how Jeff Nweke provided financial resources, personnel, and materials to resolve the issue.

During the ceremony in Awka, Nweke, a security expert, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming solidarity from supporters and Anambra people in general and declared that his aspiration was motivated by a passion to serve the people of the state.

He said Anambra people deserve the best, and that he is offering a vision that prioritises the security of lives and property, quality education, improved infrastructure, and a fight against hunger and poverty through meaningful empowerment.

He assured that he will uplift peasant farmers if given opportunity while describing them as the backbone of the rural economy.
