A labour Party member in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Henry Nigeria Mbachu, representing Awka South 1 State Constituency, has left the Labour Party and joined the Young Progressive Party, YPP, claiming that his decision was driven by the attractive manifesto of the YPP Guber Candidate, Sir Paul Chukwuma.
In a video broadcast announcing his move to the YPP, Hon. Mbachu said that his decision to join the YPP was reached after careful consideration arising from his assessment of the YPP Candidate and his manifesto, which, he said, best expressed his desire for a new Anambra State.
Accordingly, Hon. Mbachu pledged to work assiduously for the YPP and the Candidate of the party, Sir Paul Chukwuma, for the November 8, Anambra State Governorship Election.
Speaking on the quality of YPP’s candidate and his confidence in the party and the Candidate’s manifesto, Hon. Mbachu said that not only did Chukwuma’s manifesto fit into his own set legislative agenda for his constituents, but also that his candidacy appealed to the youth and had a compelling vision and plan for Anambra State, which, he said, was comparable to none else.
Mbachu also assured his constituents that the YPP remained their best option in realizing their collective interest.
‘I am here this day, to declare to you my defection from Labour Party to the YPP. This decision is made on the foundation of a carefully thought-out way for the good people of Awka and Okpuno, with the best interest at heart,’ Hon. Henry Mbachu said.
He pledged to work with Chukwuma for the November 8 Anambra State Governorship Election, insisting that Chukwuma presented the best manifesto that suited the people of Awka and Okpuno.
‘He’s a Candidate who represents the young minds. A Candidate who presented an understandable blueprint on how to develop Anambra from consumption to production. A Candidate who has shown me that industries can be built across the state. He has also assured me that in every facility built in Awka by the government, Awka and Okpuno People will have the option of first refusal from level 1 to level 7. This decision is in the best interest of Awka South,’ Hon. Mbachu said.
