By Okey Maduforo

The gubernatorial candidate of the Action Alliance, AA, Ozo Jeff Nweke has paid the mandatory N50 million for the issuance of permit to carry out campaigns in bill boards, posters and T-shirts ahead of the conduct of the November 8th election in Anambra state.

Others include Chief George Moghalu of the Labour Party, John Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress ADC and Sir Paul Chukwuma of the Young Democratic Party YPP .

Recall that the Anambra State Signage and Advertisment Agency ANSAA had directed that all political parties and candidates are expected to pay the sum before they would be allowed to carry out outdoor political campaigns in the area 

Nweke, who is the fourth contestant to pick the license despite faulting it as illegal fee, said that with the latest development, his campaign posters, handbills, billboards, branded vehicles and others would be seen across the 326 electoral wards of the Anambra state and beyond.

Nweke was represented at the occasion by his running-mate, Mr Obi Elvis Anayochukwu and some party members said he was confident of victory on the November 8 gubernatorial which was why he never wanted any person or thing to stop him from reaching out accordingly.

According to him, the election is between AA and others but at the end, Anambra people would have their say by voting a candidate with passion to feed the nation, secure and upright the masses.

"We have confidence on winning the election. AA is not new. Ozo Nweke is a figure, a household name within Anambra State and beyond. We are seeing and hearing from the masses on who will be their choice"

"We are well positioned to change Anambra state for good, starting with security of lives and property, to attraction of foreign and local investors and others," he added.
