February 11, (THEWILL) – The governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Enugu, Frank Nweke Jr., has endorsed Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) for the February 25 election in Nigeria
Nweke, whose party, APGA, also has a presidential candidate, said Obi’s character, capacity and integrity, made him the best among the three leading presidential candidates.
He, therefore, urged the people of Enugu to vote for Obi in the presidential election, but cast other votes for APGA candidates.
Nweke, who spoke while addressing the 48th Annual Synod of the Methodist Church of Nigeria in Enugu, added that the church had a major role to play in the enthronement of good leadership.
He pledged to partner with the church in improving education and reinventing the society if elected as governor.
Nweke promised to hand schools back to missions because schools were better managed by churches, especially primary schools, the foundation of education.
On acute water scarcity in the state, the governorship candidate said he would restore the water supply, ensure proper waste disposal and address multiple taxes within 12 months of his administration.
He appealed to the church to vote for APGA in the elections in the state and promised not to disappoint the residents.
Responding, the Methodist Archbishop of Enugu, Most Rev. Christopher Edeh, thanked Nweke for identifying with the church and prayed to God to help him achieve his political ambition.
The Bishop said the church would participate actively in the enthronement of good leaders in the country.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of the “Ambassador of Christ” award to Nweke.
