Leading candidate for the Enugu West Senatorial position Professor Nick Ezeh has flagged off his campaign.
Ezeh, who has the ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is believed to be the most credible, most qualified, most popular candidate to replace the former Deputy Senate President who has spent about 20 years on the Senate seat.
The candidate who became the first Senatorial candidate to flag off in the entire Enugu State also inaugurated his campaign team with members from the five local government areas of the zone.
A grassroots politician, Ezeh also inaugurated ieams for the wards, towns and villages within the Senatorial Zone.
Prof. Ezeh amnoinved that the APC has successfully re-united in Enugu West Senatorial Zone hence the inauguration of his campaign team, “Ugoeze Campaign Organisation.”
“There is no division, no faction in Enugu West. We have learnt our mistakes and that is why we are here,” he said, and charged the campaign team to go all out to campaign vigorously for him and all the APC candidates for the 2023 election.
Speaking at the occasion, the Enugu State chairman of APC, Barr. Ugochukwu Agballa said Prof. Ezeh was a candidate to beat, adding that all the candidates they are offering for the 2023 elections were men and women of proven integrity capable of delivering on their mandate if elected.
Agballa said, “if there is a man that will go to Abuja to agitate for the welfare of Ndigbo that person is Prof. Ezeh. He is going to the Senate to advocate for a reshuffled Nigeria. He is going there for the Igbo state.
“We are parading the best candidates. Our governorship candidate is a big business man. The deputy governorship candidate, George Ogara is an enterprising lawyer.
“I implore you to work hard. What is facing us is a generation problem,” he charged the campaign team.
The party chairman lamented that Enugu has lost its glory and that an APC government would restore the lost glory.
“They took our Zoo, recreation centres and turned them into their private homes,” he indicts the PDP led administration in the state since 1999.”
