Consolidating Gov. Soludo’s Developmental Gains In Anambra South with Akai Egwuonwu (Opinion)
Chief Akai Egwuonwu, a proven party loyalist with a Solution-Driven ideology and clear agenda drawn from the APGA manifesto for consolidated development of Anambra South, is the real game changer.
Governor Charles Soludo’s transformative vision has positioned Anambra South as the engine of economic growth in Anambra State, with flagship projects like the Ekwulobia Flyover and extensive road construction in Nnewi’s industrial hub,
Mr Solution has laid the groundwork for unprecedented connectivity and industrial growth.
Furthermore, the Ogboji Pharmaceutical Park in Orumba South promises to revolutionise the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, while the Nnewi Automotive Components Cluster is poised to solidify the zone’s status as a manufacturing powerhouse.
These initiatives underscore the need for a Senator who will ensure these projects thrive through federal support and complementary legislation.
Chief Akai Egwuonwu, an APGA stalwart and solution-driven industrialist, is the right candidate to bridge this gap and consolidate these gains.
The agricultural potential of Anambra South is vast, with fertile lands in Ihiala, Aguata, and Orumba North and South which offers untapped opportunities for large-scale agribusiness.
Chief Akai Egwuonwu’s track record in revolutionising Rice production in Anambra State through his brave role in creating Anambra Rice in 2015 demonstrates his ability to drive agriculture transformation.
His visionary leadership and “Midas touch” helped put Anambra on the map as a key player in Nigeria’s rice production, creating jobs and boosting food security. Akai’s manifesto builds on this legacy, with detailed plans to attract federal grants for mechanized farming and establishment of agro-processing zones in Ufuma, Awa, Okpeze/Ndiukwuenu, Eziagu, ihitte, Enugwumuoyia and Umuomaku through Umuchu to maximize the economic value of the region’s agricultural produce.
One of the standout aspects of Chief Akai Egwuonwu’s agenda is his focus on consolidating the Nnewi Automotive Components Cluster, which has the potential to turn the zone into a continental industrial hub.
Nnewi is home to visionary entrepreneurs who require supportive policies and infrastructure to expand their operations. Egwuonwu’s legislative priorities include lobbying for federal incentives such as tax breaks for manufacturers and grants for small-scale industries.
These efforts will not only spur industrial growth in Nnewi but also create a ripple effect that will help expand the Nkwo Nnewi beyond, stretching to Akamili Umudim to Ekwusigo and Ihiala, driving regional development.
The Ogboji Pharmaceutical Park is another game-changing initiative that he plans to support through targeted advocacy at the federal level. Located in Orumba South, the park is designed to attract pharmaceutical companies, create jobs, and enhance access to quality healthcare across the zone and beyond.
Chief Egwuonwu’s manifesto outlines plans to lobby for federal funding and regulatory support to fast-track the completion of this project and ensure its long-term sustainability. His commitment to aligning with Soludo’s vision makes him the ideal candidate for Anambra South Senatorial election.
Anambra South stands at a historic crossroads. The opportunity to have both the Governor and the Senator representing the zone aligned in the same political party is a chance to unlock the full potential of Ihiala, Ekwusigo, Orumba North, Orumba South, Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Aguata. Chief Akai Egwuonwu’s solution-driven ideology, APGA loyalty, and clear manifesto make him uniquely positioned to deliver on this promise.
By electing him, the people of Anambra South will ensure the seamless continuation of Soludo’s developmental agenda, securing a brighter and more prosperous future for Anambra South.
This is not just an election; it is an opportunity to get it right for Anambra South, from the grassroots to National and International significance
