A notable grassroots politician, former cabinet member and Director in Valentine Chineto Ozigbo’s 2021 PDP gubernatorial election campaign, Lady Juliet Anaeme (AdaOzubulu) has collapsed her entire political structure into the All Progressive Congress APC, in a move to brighten the party’s chances of making more inroads in Anambra State political dispensation.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after an enlarged stakeholder meeting of her structure in Anambra South senatorial district, AdaOzubulu noted that her decision to to defect to the ruling party APC was based on the outcome of various consultative meetings she had with her political family across the state, during which they unanimously resolved to move to APC.
“We as Ndigbo have suffered enough, endured enough and arrived to the conclusion that aligning with the party at the center is all we need to restore hope, economic stability and political emancipation of our dear state, to enable us live up to our slogan: LIGHT OF THE NATION.
“Similarly, the landmark achievements of the Most Distinguished Senator Ifeanyi Ubah in providing security, infrastructure, viable social schemes and human capital development is not a fit that one could overlook in a hurry, considering its crucial impacts on humanity, economic growth and society in general.
“We chose to declare for the APC here in our senatorial zone because charity begins at home. Going forward, we have scheduled a timetable to replicate this historic transition in Anambra North and Central senatorial districts so that all our members within the state would be officially inducted into our new platform APC and consolidate our chances of making more inroads in terms of grassroots mobilization and target for victorious outings in upcoming elections.
“To this end, we call on the good people of Anambra State to support the lofty ideals of Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah CON, Chairman Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream and CEO Capital Oil & Gas, by keying into his various livelihood improvement initiatives across the state. This can easily be done through formal registration at our various legislative wards and following up with prompt attendance to all meetings of the party at all levels.
“Ndi Anambra, it is time we told ourselves the truth about party politics. I realized that our politics has been narrowed down to family matter which has consequently hindered our ability to collaborate with our brothers across the country, eroded our chances of attracting substantial federal government interventions and ruined our hard-earned reputation as a peace-loving people that is widely known for our inherent fraternal attributes from inception.
“It is pertinent to note that when a bad person defects from one political party to another, he or she carries along that bad mindset which breeds nothing but resentment, bad leadership and leadership failure, but once a kindhearted person like Senator Ifeanyi Ubah embarks on such mission, both members of his former party and the new ones tend to experience a renewed hope that fosters posterity and absolute sense of belonging, notwithstanding the infrastructural development aspect which he views and undertakes with utmost passion.
“On this note, I urge you all to disregard negative insinuations about APC in the state, considering that we now have the right calibers of tested and trusted personalities in the party, needed to restore our hopes for a better tomorrow and peaceful coexistence as One Big Family”, she said.
