A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), governorship aspirant for Anambra state in the 2021 poll, Dr Godwin Maduka, has said he was the most qualified and positioned to govern the state if given the opportunity due to his wealth of experiences and ‘contacts.’
Maduka, who disclosed this in a press conference, explained that if presented with the PDP ticket, he would go ahead to defeat candidates of other political parties owing to his popularity and wealth to execute the electoral processes.
He added that his administration has several revenue windows from overseas and as such, would not be dependent on the federal allocations and internally generated revenues (IGR) to develop the state.
“I have travelled to almost all countries of the world. I don’t need visa to enter such countries any more. What I’m just asking is for the PDP to give me ticket. I have great plans for Anambra state. I want you to understand that 50 percent of the resources I will use to run this state will come from abroad. Abuja allocation and our internally generated revenue won’t be enough for my development plans for Anambra state .
“All that PDP needs to do is to obey the zoning arrangement, conduct a free, fair and credible primary on the 26th of June, I’m confident of clinching the ticket. PDP is a big party and my fellow aspirants know that I have what it takes to win the election for the party. I’m a billionaire in any currency.
“I’m well educated if not the most educated amongst the aspirants. I’m a triple professor and a triple PhD holder. I’ve the capacity to prosecute the election and I have the connection. Our party delegates are with me. They know what I can do to develop the state,” he maintained.
