Nigeria: Imo SDP Guber Candidate Pays Tribute to Mbakwe

13 November 2018

The gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Imo state, Mr. Casimir Anyanwu has promised to run an inclusive government if elected governor. He stated that it was only the late Chief Sam Mbakwe-first civilian governor of the state, who once ran an open government in the state and also promised to improve upon that by reviving ailing and moribund industries.

Anyanwu disclosed this at a meeting with journalists to dispel rumours that he has sold his gubernatorial ticket to someone else. He said that the Mbakwe tenure which was truncated by the military brought governance to the doorsteps of everyone in the state. He noted that Mbakwe was the only governor in the history of the state who left his footprints in the sands of time. Every community was touched through the establishment of cottage industries.
