The number of aspirants for the 2025 governorship race in Anambra State has continued to swell, with the declaration of Engineer Bath Nwibe.

Engineer Nwibe, a Port Harcourt based businessman, made his intention to run in the 2025 governorship election under the platform of the Labour Party on Sunday, Sept 15,2024.

He informed the party’s stakeholders of Anambra Central Senatorial District at a meeting at Awka Etiti, Idemili South Local Government Area.

He told the party chieftains that its time the State get a humble leader who’s close to the people, listens and gives heed to their needs, challenges and expectations.

The business mogul said his desire was to address the leadership failure in the state.

Nwibe said: “I want to tell you that I am running for Anambra governorship, and I want your support.

“There is a need for us to reorganise our society.

“We need security here; our youths cannot live and work here because there are no jobs

“If my brother, the governor is doing well, I will not have come out; we expected so much from him, but unfortunately, we are seeing so little.

“That is why I am offering myself for a term of four years.”

Nwibe laments high insecurity, unemployment

Nwibe bemoaned the poor state of affairs due to high insecurity, unprecedented youth unemployment, collapse of businesses and absence of vision for strategic development.

He said that with Anambra’s rich deposit in natural gas which could be harnessed for industrialisation purposes but sadly the current administration was docile or ignorant.

Nwibe said further: “We should no longer have a system where the governor determines who should be the traditional ruler, president general, kindred heads and market associations, all these things have been politicised.

“We have significant business presence in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt while our state is deserted; I will create employment.

“We cannot continue to have our children run away from here and expect the state to develop.

“You can build roads and make all the promises but if there is no security, it makes no sense; the problem we face cannot be solved by grammar.

“In the South Senatorial District, we have massive insecurity, everywhere there is occupied, we can no longer visit home like we used to,” he said.

One of Nwibe’s key supporters, Chief Gaius Ezeh, said Nwibe was a successful businessman and a proven philanthropist who was best fitted for the task of rebuilding Anambra.
