The Knights of Sir Paul Chukwuma (KSP), a grassroot-based support group has declared that ahead of the APC governorship primary in Anambra State, majority of party faithfuls have shown strong preference for the former National Auditor of the APC, Sir Paul Chukwuma to emerge as the governorship candidate of the APC for the 2025 governorship election in the state.
In a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary of the group, Charles Igwe on behalf of the State Executive Committee and the Local Government Coordinators of KSP in the 21 LGAs of Anambra, the support group stated that Sir Paul Chukwuma apart from being one of the foundation members of the APC and who has remained steadfast with the party through thick and thin, he is also a very competent alternative that will be a massive upgrade on the incumbent governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo who seem to be overwhelmed by the demands of the office at the moment.
KSP in the statement noted that Anambra State is at a critical crossroad presently and needs a deliberate departure from the norm to take the state back to the path of sustainable progress and rapid inclusive development. That departure it stated, starts with recruiting a visionary leader from a truly progressive party like the APC as the next Governor of Anambra State.
Sir Paul Chukwuma, according to KSP is a perfect fit for that enormous task. This is why many in the All Progressives Congress (APC) are desirous in bringing out Sir Paul Chukwuma as the governorship candidate when the time is right.
The Knights of Sir Paul Chukwuma further affirmed that it is gearing up to embark on a mother of all mobilisation to garner unassailable support for the candidacy of Sir Paul Chukwuma because he is the best bet of redemption for ndi Anambra.
The group called on every Anambrarian who wants the state to be saved from the choking clutches of APGA to join hands with KSP in starting a new journey of progressive governance in Anambra State with Sir Paul Chukwuma in the driving seat.
The KSP also appealed to other members of the APC in Anambra State who may be supporting other aspirants or potential aspirants to maintain decorum and civility while scouting for support for their preferred choice.
It cautioned against promoting dangerous rhetoric or propaganda that will threaten the unity in the party as the APC governorship primary approaches. KSP noted that APC is one family known for brotherliness and therefore fifth columnists should not disrupt that harmony for any reason.
