A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has joined the race in the Anambra governorship election, slated for November 18.

He told a consultative meeting of the PDP at Otuocha, near Awka on Monday that his desire to run for the position was to serve the people.

The former Corps Marshal of the FRSC said he was ready to serve his people under any capacity.

“I am ready to serve the people in any capacity even as a counselor because no position is too small or big for him as long as it is service to the people.

“Since my youth service years, I have been involved in volunteer service; so the driving motive for this ambition is to serve the people of the state,” Chidoka said.

According to him, time has come for the PDP to take over power in Anambra.

He said that the issue of zoning, propounded by APGA would not be considered by PDP in fielding a candidate.

Also speaking, the PDP Chairman in the Local Government, Chief Thompson Chikezie, said that Chidoka’s visit was to intimate the people of his desire to contest the election.

“Chidoka’s visit shows the type of leader he will be if elected as governor. Any good leader aspiring to public office should always take recourse to the grassroots.

“It shows open-mindedness, respect, love and seriousness.

“He is courageous for coming to the Local Government of the incumbent governor.”

He is contesting under which of the PDP?

kingzizzy:
The Anambra Guber will be between APGA and PDP. One advantage that APGA has is thats its candidate is already known. PDP are notorious for fighting over their Anambra candidate. The odds are stacked against PDP

nonsobaba:
The fact is that this november election in anambra state will be a battle between APGA and APC. PDP will be dragging 3rd position with LP. I am a realist not a sentimentalist.

I have always loved this guy for his politics of conviction

This may not be the greatest of times for PDP but real men and true leaders know that the answer is not to quit but to help rebuild the party from within

Run an enviable campaign my friend and leave the rest for God. It's too easy to leave the PDP to APC just because APC are in power!

Politics is not just about winning elections even though it seems that's all that matters in Nigeria

Nigeria needs a strong PDP to keep APC on their toes, it is in the interest of our progress and stability for PDP to remain strong

The same Chidoka that collected millions for new drivers license and left FRSC without providing the cards, neither did he bequeath the agency with capacity to produce cards.

Same guy that did nothing in aviation ministry, which uncle hero, as usual, rewarded with for failing.

The dude is a fraud. Hope he fails, after wasting all his money in the process.

Mega failed project! Save your money mazi chidoka!

krendo:


Una don start again to make up corruption stories, the type of silliness that produced Buhari

Why not sell your candidates positively and let others sell theirs?

I like how you didn't answer any of the allegations made by Mr. DelGardo.

Didn't Chidoka's FRSC collect the money? Did they produce the cards? What achievements did he have as aviation minister?

It isn't compulsory to make a comment if you have nothing sensible to say!

Nukualofa:
He needs to wait for Obiano to finish his remaining 4 years.


Obiano we know
