Awka, May 5, 2021 Chief Rommy Okoli, a former Chairman of Nnewi South local government council, has joined the race for Nov. 6 Anambra governorship poll, under the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) platform.
Okoli said this when he spoke with newsmen at his Campaign Office on Wednesday in Awka.
He said that his aspiration was hinged on closing the gap between the rich and the poor in the state.
“Just look at our society today, the naked needs to be clothed, the afflicted needs comfort, the sick, the poor, the hungry, the motherless babies, orphans, widows, the less privileged and the hopeless.

The former National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Senator Victor Umeh, has declared his full support for Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo to become the party flag bearer at November 6th gubernatorial election in the state.
He said he is supporting the candidacy of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, because the incumbent governor, Willie Obiano, has also endorsed him to fly the party ticket.
Umeh said he is also supporting Soludo, because of his development skills and the only person who can maintain the already existing projects, APGA led government has put in place across the state in the past 16 years.
