Amongst the 16 Governorship Candidates jostling for the number one seat of power in the state, Anyanwu stands tall in terms of experience and support base across divides. As a two time Council Chairman of Ikeduru LGA, two time member representing Ikeduru state constituency, Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria where he represented Imo East senatorial district at the 8th Senate and currently the National Secretary of PDP, positions Anyanwu as eminently qualified to contest the Governorship seat.

Once you are willing to come public and declare your support for their party’s Governorship candidate, consider yourself multi million naira richer, he said.
“These class of politicians do not mean well for the suffering citizens who are currently going through untold hardship and maladministration of the ruling adminstration coupled with the ravaging security challenges witnessed weekly in the state.
Continuing, Ndukwu said the coast is becoming clearer by the day, adding that the candidate of PDP, Sen Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, according to survey and opinion polls is tipped to emerge victorious come November 11 Governorship election.

“The best way to avenge the gruesome murder of innocent Imo indigenes by armed non state actors is to vote out the present administration who have failed to protect the lives and properties of citizens of the state, he said.
