The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the just-concluded Anambra State governorship election, Jude Ezenwafor, has pledged to work with Governor Chukwuma Soludo to advance the development of the state.
Ezenwafor stated this on Monday, in an interview on ‘Sunrise Daily’, a programme on Channels Television.
He described his relationship with Soludo as longstanding and cordial.
“I can assist him. I have been assisting him before; he is my friend. I brought him to work in Anambra,” he said.
He revealed that he encouraged Soludo to contest the governorship while serving as Senior Special Assistant to former Governor Willie Obiano.
“I convinced Soludo to contest the election in the first instance, when I was Senior Special Assistant to Governor Willie Obiano.
He came, he did well, and there is no perfect person,” Ezenwafor added.
Acknowledging criticisms regarding security in the state, Ezenwafor applauded Soludo and his team for being proactive.
He advised the governor to prioritise inclusivity and strengthen security operations.
Addressing allegations of vote-buying during the election, Ezenwafor described the claims as exaggerated.
