Nnewi, Anambra state – Chief Dozie Ikedife Jr (Ikenga Nnewi) is considered the perfect candidate to replace and complete the tenure of the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah in the national assembly.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that Ubah, who represented Anambra South Senatorial district passed on in a London hospital in the United Kingdom in July 2024.
Ikedife is said to have what it takes to fill the vacuum of leadership left behind by Ubah in the Anambra South senatorial district.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and media aide to Ikedife, Lotanna Ugochukwu Okafor, disclosed this during an exclusive chat with TimesNow.com.ng on Saturday, January 18.
Okafor said Ikedife has the quality to carry on with the strong legacy and philosophy of Ubah.
Speaking on why Ikedife is the right man for the job, Okafor said his boss ticked all the criteria outlined by Orazulume, the political family of Ubah while he was alive.
Okafor said Ikedife is the man the people can rely on at all times and whose yes is yes and no is no.
He highlighted the reason why Ikedife should be supported to clinch the APC ticket and win the bye-election:
Okafor debunked a claim made by an aspirant, Sir Azuka Okwuosa, that he has spoken to Ikedife about his senatorial ambition.
He said Ikedife has never spoken with Okwuosa over the phone or met with him this year – 20225.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that the Zonal Executive Committee of the APC in Anambra South made known their preferred candidate for the upcoming bye-election.
The Anambra South executives have declared their support for Chief Ikedife Jr (Ikenga Nnewi).
The executive members said Ikedife is the perfect person to replace and complete the tenure of the late Senator Ubah.
