*

The guber ambition of Senator Andy Uba yesterday received a boost as he concluded his tours of the south and central senatorial districts wrapping up his tour of the state ahead of the guber primaries slated for the 26th of August, 2017.

Uba who began his tour yesterday, visited the 14 local governments in the two senatorial districts, meeting and interacting with the delegates of from these areas.

Uba, a sitting senator and leading aspirant described his candidature as one capable of turning the chances of the party around.

At each stop, Uba described the present administration of Governor Willie Obiano as a monumental failure, bereft of ideas and a prudence required to transform the state.

He described his gubernatorial ambition as one laden with the burden to develop the state in the shortest time possible

He bemoaned the state of infrastructure in the state , promising to galvanize all resources available to the state for the benefit of its citizens.

“ Anambra State has all it takes to excel, in my years of service, I have come to understand that the state can compete with the likes of Lagos, Kano and Rivers States, with our abundant resources, we can compete with these aforementioned states.”

Uba singularly expressed his disgust at the present state of Awka as the state’s capital

“Let’s look at Awka as a state capital, Awka till today remain’s the worst capital in the whole of Nigeria, it’s present infrastructural state does not justify its status as a capital city.

When I won my elections in 2007, I had plans for Awka, we were going to create a new Awka, with well laid out plans befitting to a state like ours

Sadly, I was removed from office after 17 days and till date no administration has deemed it worthy to toe such a path.

Let me assure you that in my first year in office, I will begin to implement such ideas, Awka must be given the status it deserves.
"

He urged the delegates to ignore the lies peddled against him, stating that he at no point in time had the intention of changing or removing any of the party leaders, officials or delegates.

Uba also promised to run an inclusive campaign that would be powered by ideas.
