The People’s Redemption Party (PRP) on Wednesday conducted its governorship primary election with Dr Nnamdi Nwanwuo, a native doctor, emerging as the candidate of the party.
Nwanwuo was returned unopposed after his two co-aspirants, Chidebere Mba and Humphrey Anaso stepped down for him.
National Secretary of the party, Babatunde Ali, announced Nwanwuo the winner, describing the election as credible and peaceful. He said the party’s flag would be the next to be hoisted at the government house after wrestling power from the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at the November 6 election.
He commended other aspirants for stepping down for the candidate, saying it was a demonstration of the spirit of sportsmanship and leadership, which he said was one of the hallmarks of the party.
According to Ali, “PRP is the only party that recognises the place of people in governance. This country has hope because what we have done today will be on record as far as PRP is concerned.”
In his acceptance speech, the party candidate, Nwanwuo promised to focus on health, education and agriculture to positively impact the lives of the citizens of the state.
