Accoding to him,”we need a new change and a new face in Anambra, and I represent that new face. I have contributed over $500 million to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Anambra.


I would not be here if I had seen any alternative among my co-contestants. They are all good in different things but the governance of Anambra State right now, I don’t need to stay away until I finish what I came for, they can maintain it. 


“To take us out of this hole, I am the only one who can do it because I have the antecedents that no one else has, and they all know it. I will fix Anambra in every aspect because I have done it before,” he said.


He pleaded with the authorities, youths and other stakeholders to allow the election hold “because time is not on our side. We don’t want to lose this opportunity because I have what it takes to help my people cross the bridge.”


The President-General of Anambra state town unions in Delta, Mr. Victor Mbanefo at event appealed Anambrarians to vote wisely and elect person with proven integrity.


“Dr. Maduka has the capacity to transform the Anambra into one of the international communities.He has travelled round and learnt a lot from the best countries of the world, I believed that all sectors would be touched.
