Popular Airline Boss, Obiora Okonkwo Anambra Gubernatorial Race by Man102(op): 11:54am On Feb 01, 2025
The Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, has declared his intention to contest the upcoming governorship election in Anambra state.

Okonkwo will Be contesting on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He declared his intention on Friday at his country home in Ire village in Ogidi, Idemili North Local Government Area.

Okonkwo said he was driven by a sense of responsibility to contribute his quota to the development of Anambra after a deep reflection and extensive consultations with stakeholders.

He said Anambra was a land of limitless potential with industrious entrepreneurs and resilient people.

Okonkwo said the state had not lived up to its full promise as a result of poor governance.

“The pains and horror of insecurity have left our people living in the bondage of fear. People earnestly cry for real security and progress.

“With a deep sense of responsibility and unwavering commitment to the future of our dear Anambra State, today I declare my intention to contest the forthcoming governorship election.


“I believe Anambra deserves the best. Together, we can build a state that truly works for everyone; a state where governance is about service to the people and not to self,” he said.

Okonkwo said he would prioritise security, economic transformation, job creation, infrastructure development, education, human capital development, agriculture, technology, skills acquisition and value reorientation.

He added, “I cannot do it alone. I need your support; together, we can make Anambra a shining example of excellence and good governance.

“I pledge to prioritise the welfare and well-being of our people, particularly the youths, women and the vulnerable populations.

“My vision on this movement is to build an Anambra that is prosperous, secure, and globally competitive.

“No society can thrive without security and accountable leadership. We will work closely together with security agencies, invest in community policing and ensure efficiency in government.


“It is for this movement and for the good of our collective future that I intend to pursue this vision on the platform of APC.”

Let Obedients proof us wrong in their home state.

Make sure you protect your votes jealously, so that, another opposition party won't manipulate you, using INEC again.

Starting your revolution from your home state, before people's state.

If you remove political lines and bring competence to the table, Obiora Okonkwo will definitely win by a landslide.

He is a unique personality I have always admired. Talks less like Adenuga and does it big. A man who believes in all irrespective of tribe or religion.

Obiora Okonkwo would be the best thing to happen to Anambra in last 4 decades.

Allowing Soludo to keep littering Anambra state with substandard projects will be disastrous for Anambra for annother 4 years, and a realtime implementation and execution technocrat is required.

I support him because another four years under Soludo will be disaster. This man United Nigerian airline is doing very fine. I used their flight recently from Abuja to Lagos returned. The staff and cabin crew are superb. No delay flight

Waste of time and resources. Ifeanyi Ubah would've posed more threat to Soludo!

He made 2 big mistakes that has killed his election

1. Contesting under APC (APC can never win gubernatorial election in Anambra)

2. Contesting when it's not yet Anambra Central turn (It's still the turn of Anambra South)

3. He is not even known in Anambra

APC and political blunder

Soludo, by his poor performance, doesn't deserve another tenure.

Dem wan chop this man money again!!!!! He contested under PDP last time, lost in the primaries and went to join ZLP. He didn’t even get up to 100 votes and lost woefully despite spending billions.
