AWKA: As campaign for the November 8, 2025 governorship election picks up, the governorship candidate of African Democratic Congress (ADC) Mr. John Chuma Nwosu has assured that if elected he and his deputy governorship candidate Chief Ndubisi Nwobu will not fail Anambra people.

He spoke in an interview after expressing satisfaction with the outcome of a strategic coalition leeting with Stakeholders in Awka at the weekend.

Nwosu said after the meeting that “It is very gratifying that Ndi Anambra are warming up keenly to and embracing the ADC coalition party, as the credible alternative to the Soludo-led government.

“We assure those who seek credible, transformative and adaptive leadership in Anambra, that we will not fail them.”

He said that as both he and his deputy are entrepreneurs from the organised privste sector and good managers of resources and people, they intend to take Anambra from theory to practice of good governance and sustainable development.

The party held what it described as strategic coalition meeting with political Leaders from other parties under the aegis of Anambra Coalition Stakeholders Forum, the first of its kind since Nwosu emerged as the governorship candidate of the party.

Nwosu said the coalition meeting was more than just a convergence of political minds but “a strategic and deliberate response to the growing outcry for accountable leadership, inclusive development, and a governance model that genuinely reflects the will and welfare of the people.”

Nwosu said it is the party’s vision to foster a people-centered democratic culture; one rooted in transparency, equity, economic empowerment, and social justice.

The meeting also officially adopted him as the coalition candidate in the forthcoming gubernatorial election. Nwosu said that the strategic meeting is a litmus test in Anambra and signifies a battle against bad governance.

According to him, “With the Anambra State Gubernatorial Election fast approaching, the ADC coalition is set to take a bold stand, leveraging the political opportunity as a litmus test for its ideological and practical commitment to ending bad governance.

“Anambra, a state rich in human capital, entrepreneurial spirit, and cultural heritage, has for years yearned for leadership that prioritizes its people over personal or political interests.

“The ADC-led coalition sees Anambra as the ideal launchpad for a broader national reawakening; a testing ground to prove that governance in Nigeria can be done differently, done better, and done for the people.

“The coalition aims to disrupt the status quo, dismantle anti-people policies, and demonstrate that good governance is not just possible, but achievable when visionary leadership is combined with grassroots mobilization and coalition strength.
